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

Chapter 51 Opponent: The Second Miss of the Xie Family
That madman is willing to do anything.

If you can't afford to offend, you can always avoid it.

Pan Feng was about to pull the young marquis towards the marquis's mansion.

"Huang San, is that the young marquis and that Pan Feng?"

Under the shade of the tree, an old soldier spoke.

"Seems to be."

Huang San stared at it for a while and cursed, "God is blind. Why hasn't this bastard died yet?"

"Be careful, this guy is cruel and ruthless."

Someone reminds me.

"Pooh."

Huang San spat on the ground and said angrily, "If he really chops off my head, then the marquis will have to give me the weapons even if he doesn't want to."

These messengers came to Jizhou with the intention of losing their heads.

The brain is not important.

As long as you can complete the task assigned by Xiao Han, you can chop as much as you want.

Finally it's May.

Under the watch of hundreds of Xiliang messengers day and night, Xie Xuanli allocated a batch of military equipment and food, and drove these people away as if to send away the plague god.

"Finally clean."

In the Hou Mansion.

Xie Xuanli lay in the chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

As a result, before they could rest for a moment, the beloved young marquis of the Xie family rushed in, glaring at them.

"Old man, if you want to marry my sister to a Jiangnan family, I will never let you go."

The young marquis was not just talk, he raised his fists and was about to hit his father.

crucial moment.

Although Xie Xuanli is old, he is extremely agile.

He suddenly jumped up from the chair to avoid his son's fist.

He ran out of the hall as fast as he could.

Ever since.

Everyone in the mansion saw this scene.

The Marquis of Zhenbei was running in front, and the young Marquis Xie An was chasing behind.

None of the guards and servants dared to intervene and they all pretended not to see anything.

Helping the Marquis will offend the Young Marquis; helping the Young Marquis will offend the Marquis.

I can't afford to offend anyone, so I just choose not to help anyone.

"You run really fast, old man."

"Don't hide, I see you."

Xie An looked around in the garden, shouting, trying to trick Xie Xuanli out.

In the bushes not far away, Xie Xuanli squatted and sneered, "You little bastard, you dare to play military tactics with me."

Xie An looked around.

After failing to find Xie Xuanli, he went to the quiet backyard muttering to himself.

The moonlight was shining and the dark clouds had dispersed.

It sprinkles in the courtyard, illuminating the lake water like white jade.

The rippling waves reflected a crescent moon, which swayed with the ripples.

Inside the pavilion.

There was a woman in red sitting by a candlestick, holding a book, reading intently.

It was not until Xie An stepped into the courtyard that they were startled.

"Sister, is that old guy hiding in your yard?"

Xie An asked.

"No."

Xie Wan'er shook her head.

"That old guy got a bargain."

Xie An was indignant. He picked up the tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp, only then did he feel a little relieved.

"If you want to marry you to Jiangnan, you have to ask me first if I agree."

"Little brother, stop messing around."

Xie Waner had a stern face.

"I'm not messing around."

Xie An sneered: "Those aristocratic families in Jiangnan are thousands of miles away from Jizhou. If you marry there and get bullied, you won't even have anyone to rely on."

Xie Wan'er's heart warmed, but her face was still cold: "Marriage has always been decided by parents and matchmakers since ancient times. You have no right to interfere."

"I don't."

Xie An stiffened his neck and said, "No matter what you say, I won't let you go to Jiangnan."

"In comparison, I would rather you marry that barbarian Xiao Han."

"Although I look down on him, he is still much better than those young masters from Jiangnan families."

"What's the difference?"

Xie Wan'er shook her head slightly.

From then on till the end, there was no trace of emotion in his eyes.

This marriage, whether marrying to Jiangnan or Xiliang, is just a compromise between power and interests.

"Too late."

Xie Wan'er continued to look at the book in her hand.

……

Xiliang. Governor's Mansion.

into the night.

A crescent moon hangs in the sky, the courtyard is quiet, there is a rattan chair and a pot of sake.

The big moon plays the piano and the small moon dances.

Her graceful figure swayed in the moonlight, her white skirt fluttering in the wind, which was extremely beautiful.

Seeing that he was excited, Xiao Han patted his hands and said with a smile: "Reward one ounce of silver."

"Master, it's only one ounce of silver. Isn't that a bit too stingy?"

Xiaoyue stopped and puffed her cheeks.

"Cough cough cough."

Xiao Han also looked a little embarrassed, and then said: "One tael of silver is also money, it's up to you whether you want it or not."

"want.

She nodded.

"It's not that I'm stingy."

Xiao Han smiled bitterly: "It's true that I'm short of money right now. County magistrates like Caoyang come to me every now and then to complain about their poverty."

"I, your son, would love to break a copper coin into two."

"Hehe, don't be afraid."

Xiao Yue pursed her lips and said, "A few days ago, Master sent me a letter saying that he would send some money and servants. They should be here soon. I will lend you the money then."

"Ahem, is it okay to borrow it?"

He teased.

"can."

Xiaoyue nodded.

"Son."

At this time.

Miaoyu came over with a secret report, her pretty face full of smiles: "Sir, there is an urgent report from Jizhou, Huang San and his men really did ask for military equipment and food."

Xiao Han took it and took a look at it, then said unhappily, "You're so stingy, there's only so much money left, and you only gave me half of it."

"It would be good if I could give half of it."

She said unhappily, "I am still following your dirty tricks. Otherwise, I won't even get half of it."

"What's the trick?"

Dayueer and Xiaoyueer were curious.

"Nothing much, I just found some old soldiers from Yuyang to guard the gate of Zhenbei Marquis Mansion day and night, and approach anyone they see."

Xiao Han said lightly.

"That's really bad."

Dayue nodded.

"Sir, there is another piece of news."

Miaoyu said softly, "It has been decided that Xie Wan'er will marry into a Jiangnan family."

"None of my business."

He rolled his eyes.

"Giggle."

Miaoyu covered her mouth and chuckled: "In the early years, in the Northern Army, it was said that our son would become the son-in-law of Zhenbei Hou in the future."

"Ahem, Miaoyu, don't spread rumors."

Xiao Han shook his head.

"If you like, I'll intercept Xie Wan'er halfway."

Dayue'er's beautiful eyes narrowed into a pair of crescents.

"Not interested in."

Xiao Han picked up the wine glass and took a sip slowly: "Don't do anything stupid."

Chatted with a few girls for a while.

The night was somewhat dark, and a cool breeze blew on my face.

He waved his hand: "Go back and have a rest."

"promise."

After Dayue'er and the others left, the courtyard returned to silence.

A figure walked out of the darkness silently.

"Checked it out?"

He looked at Ruoyan and raised his eyebrows.

"Ah."

Ruoyan nodded.

The moonlight shines down, revealing half of the cheek and bright red lips.

"Who?"

Ruoyan slowly uttered two words.

"Peyao."

"Pei Yao?"

Xiao Han narrowed his eyes and shook the wine glass in his hand. The clear wine formed a line along the rim of the glass.

There is a swaying crescent moon in my arms.

"It's getting more and more interesting."

Xiao Han raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "I almost forgot about the existence of the Second Miss of Zhenbei Hou."
