He was tall and tall, with long legs. Sitting on his horse and looking at the huge team of Xie's tribe that was about to catch up with half of him, he couldn't help but feel that he seemed a little too cautious and seemed to be making a fuss out of a molehill.
To deal with just a girl, I asked him for a thousand imperial troops, and I also brought four to five hundred troops.
"Clan Chief Xie, it's too much to mobilize the troops and mobilize the masses."
When Xie Miaohan saw Xun Cheng, the handkerchief in her hand almost crumbled.
Originally, her parents didn't want her to follow them this time, but knowing that Xun Xun was there, she had to follow them no matter what.
The resentment in her eyes almost turned into reality. It would be great if it was not Xun Ming who fell in love with her, but Xun Xun.
Xun Xun became famous among the aristocratic families in Kyoto since he took up the post of Imperial Guard.
He has a good family background and good looks. He is the dream man of many young ladies.
The Xie family has been on the decline over the years. She was chosen to be the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. As the legitimate daughter of the Xie family's eldest family, her status was not enough to become the true wife of the powerful person.
Mrs. Xie smiled and patted Xie Miaohan's hand, with encouragement flashing in her eyes, "Look for opportunities to chat with the Crown Prince along the way."
"Mom..." Xie Miaohan blushed, hiding aside and stamping her feet.
Xie Yuan didn't know what his daughter was thinking, so he bowed his hands to Xun Cheng in front of the team.
"I let the crown prince see a joke. I didn't want to be like this, but Xie Miaoxuan is very skilled in martial arts, and everyone around him can be as good as ten. There is really nothing I can do about it. She is out there in the name of the Xie family's girl, and her corruption has dragged down my entire life. Due to Xie’s reputation, she was unwilling to listen to our good advice, so we had to trouble the prince to accompany us.”
Xun Cheng said politely, "Anyway, it would be my honor to be able to help Patriarch Xie."
After the two exchanged tacit polite greetings, Xie Yuan and his family got on the carriage, while Xun Xuan held the horse's belly.
Behind them, the Imperial Guards were in uniform and fierce, and soon they arrived at the manor on the outskirts of Beijing.
Along the way, Xie Miaohan kept looking for opportunities to talk to Xun Xun in front of him, but whether intentionally or not, Xun Xun could accurately miss her following her every time, leaving her unable to find an opportunity.
The carriage bumped again and she had to give up after getting off several times.
Seeing such a vast manor again, Xie Yuan and others showed greed in their eyes.
As he walked further inside, Xie Yuan's face became a little ugly.
The last time he came here, the ground here was still golden and full of heavy grains.
This time only the bare ridges of the fields were left.
Thank you Miaoxuan, don't sell all the food so quickly, right?
Can she know the buying and selling prices of grain in Kyoto? Which of the major grain merchants in Kyoto is not a profiteer who eats people without spitting out their bones? What can she, a daughter-in-law who has just entered Kyoto and knows nothing, know?
Without him to take care of it, she would have to help others count money for fear of being sold.
I also thought, in such a short time, she shouldn’t have time to take action, right?
Xie Yuan thought he would be stopped outside the manor like last time, but the road was smooth and the group of people arrived outside the main courtyard of the manor like black clouds.
Xun Xuan gave an order, and layers of neatly dressed and solemn Imperial Guards surrounded the main courtyard.
The entire courtyard was quiet. With a slight nod, the imperial guards stepped forward and kicked open the courtyard door without saying a word.
There was a loud bang.
There are three entrances to the courtyard, but it is very neat and tidy inside. The first few people stepped inside.
"Xie's daughter Xie Miaoxuan, the clan elders have come in person, why don't you come out to greet her?"
Xun Xuan was sitting on the stool in the hall, looking at the almost empty room. He couldn't help but wonder why there wasn't even any decent furnishings.
Didn't Xie Yuan say that Xie Qi was rich and could rival the country, and Xie Miaoxuan was greedy for pleasure?
He looked at Xie Yuan with a bit of scrutiny.
Xie Yuan's foot injury was not yet healed, so he couldn't stand for a long time so he sat down immediately, then looked at him and smiled.
Xun Cheng looked away and said, "Go and drag the person out of the backyard."
"slow!"
Xie Yuanju walked leisurely to the hall, looking at the crowd of people in the hall, his face could not suppress the azure color of being offended.
"Is this the etiquette for visiting your home?"
"Clan Chief Xie, it wasn't enough that you brought someone to bully my girl last time, forced her way into the manor and scared her to death. This time you brought so many people, even the imperial army. You were planning to rob her directly because you were too soft. ?”
Xie Yuan frowned, "A child with a yellow mouth is confusing right and wrong."
It was obvious that he had been beaten to a disgrace, but in front of so many people, it was hard for him to embarrass himself by saying it again.
He looked at Xie Yuanju with an appraising look. He had a handsome appearance, and since Xie Qi had no son, he thought he was Xie Miaoxuan's shameless child adopter.
She looked down upon him and disdained to deal with him. She scolded him sternly, "Let your girl come out quickly. Since you know how to come out to greet guests, why don't you know how to serve tea first when distinguished guests come? Is this the etiquette taught by Xie Qi?"
Xie Yuanju's face was cold, his slender figure was as straight as a pine and cypress, and he said softly, "My girl was injured last time by someone you led, and she still hasn't been able to get up. I don't know why Patriarch Xie is so aggressive every time, and why he wants to attack Are you going to kill all the people in the second house like this?"
He emphasized the word 'du'.
This 'all' is very clever.
Xie Yuan choked at his deliberately drawn-out tone, and suddenly became angry, as if something had been revealed.
His face looked unnatural for a moment.
He narrowed his eyes. It was impossible for anyone to know what happened in the past.
This person must be delaying time intentionally by saying this.
The imperial army was dispatched, the entire manor was surrounded, not even a fly could fly out, what was he doing to delay this moment and a half.
Could it be that because they arrived suddenly, he was responsible for delaying time, while Xie Miaoxuan was secretly accumulating strength to confront the Forbidden Army.
To confront the Imperial Guards was to openly oppose the imperial court. When the time came, not only would there be a thousand Imperial Guards coming, but they would also have an imperial edict to confiscate their homes.
After thinking about this, Xie Yuan's tone became somewhat condescending and smug, "Where's Xie Miaoxuan? He doesn't dare to come out. Is he afraid?"
Xun Xuan frowned impatiently and stopped Xie Yuan from continuing to pull. "That's enough. You can't tell that he is deliberately delaying the time. He can just ask someone to bring him out."
Xie Yuan handed over his hand, "Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. I'm caught in the trap. I'm just wasting my time here with a low-class person. I can just bring him over here."
The Forbidden Army was about to move again, but Xie Yuanju stretched out his hand to stop them. His steady figure prevented the Forbidden Army from advancing even an inch.
"Bold!" Xie Yuan slapped the table and yelled angrily.
"Get this guy!"
The imperial guards swarmed forward to capture Xie Yuanju.
Just as he was about to take action, a woman's voice suddenly came.
"Stop! I'm just a weak woman. It doesn't make sense for you to come to my house and arrest people at will."
The girl's melodious voice sounded like a nightingale, and a thin figure appeared in everyone's eyes.
