He Sian, who returned from the expedition, was in high spirits. Last night he went into battle shirtless to fight with the enemy general. In the later stage of the battle, even though the enemy was twice as many as he was, he still did not flinch. He used a series of spear skills such as thrusting, stabbing, thrusting and teasing to his fullest. The two enemy leaders retreated steadily, and in the end they had to compromise, even humiliatingly kneeling in front of them and licking the wet gun tips for themselves.
He was so high-spirited, but when he saw Xu Shu's body being hollowed out, He Sian was filled with emotion, and took two steps forward to support Xu Shu.
"Why is Yuan Zhi doing this? Could it be that he was given by some eldest girl or his wife..." He Sian joked.
"My lord...what a big girl and little daughter-in-law, they are a bunch of rough guys, dozens of them, all night long!" Xu Shu was about to cry but had no tears.
He Sian's expression froze, and he quickly withdrew his hand that was supporting the narration...
A moment later, in a breakfast shop facing the street, Xu Shu swept away all the food in front of him like a whirlwind and began to tell his story.
"Hey, that's it. The concubines helped these clan leaders to make suggestions one by one. They stayed up all night from noon yesterday until now. Only then did they manage to temporarily solve the backlog of problems, and the concubines were able to escape."
After listening to Xu Shu's story, He Sian's old face heated up and he became more and more ashamed. After sending Xu Shu back to his room to rest, Li Wenhou, who came after hearing the news, bowed.
"Why is Mr. Li in such a hurry?" He Sian asked.
"To be honest with you, your highness, I have been waiting in the clan for a long time, but your highness and the clan leader have not arrived yet. Marquis Wen was worried, so he came to inquire in person. I didn't expect to meet your highness here. I don't know that the head of my clan..."
"Ahem... Your family leader is feeling unwell today and may not be able to be there for a while. I wonder what Mr. Li wants to see Yanyan for?"
'Not feeling well...According to rumors, this uncle entered the patriarch's room at noon yesterday and stayed until three o'clock today. He couldn't have been there all the time...This is too violent...but...if you can take this opportunity to stay for my Xiaoyue clan, An heir, isn't that right? '
Thinking of this, Li Wenhou shuddered and waved his hands hurriedly and said: "Don't worry, His Highness is about to return to Chengdu. You should take this opportunity to get closer to the head of my family. There is nothing serious in the family! Don't worry, Your Highness!" Both parties exchanged polite greetings. Suddenly, Li Wenhou seemed to have thought of something. His eyes lit up when he saw the direction Xu Shu was leaving. He hurriedly bid farewell to He Sian and followed closely.
Seeing that everyone was busy, He Sian also felt that he was a bit incompetent as the leader. He was not in the mood to hang around, so he packed the food and walked back.
After returning to Yuchi Yanyan's boudoir, they found that the two of them had already gotten up. At this moment, Yuchi Yanyan was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, and the maid Ana stood behind her to tidy up her messy black hair.
"Why are you up, madam?" He Sian asked distressedly as he placed the packed food on the table, knowing that his children had worked hard last night.
"Husband, don't worry, Yanyan is not as delicate as you think!" Yuchi Yanyan smiled sweetly at He Sian.
"But..." He Sian wanted to speak, but was stopped by Yuchi Yanyan.
"When will your husband prepare to return to Chengdu?" Yuchi Yanyan interrupted He Sian and asked with a smile.
"Early tomorrow morning..." He Sian replied helplessly.
"Husband, there is no need to worry too much. If you and I were ordinary people, Yanyan would naturally not want to be separated from her husband, but now we each have a lot of things to do..." Feeling the wooden comb on the top of her head, Yuchi Yanyan patted her He patted Ana's hand and turned back to He Sian with a bright smile.
...
Two months later, the Western Region Protectorate of Jincheng County
The clan leaders of all clans gathered together. Yuchi Yanyan was sitting in front of her, with a screen blocking her graceful figure.
"It's winter now. If you have any questions, please feel free to speak!" Yuchi Yanyan, who was at the top of the list, spoke first.
After a long time, there was silence below. At this time, Li Wenhou stood up and said with a smile: "Master of the Palace, in the past two months, with the help of Lord Xu Shuxu, all the previous problems have been solved."
"Oh? Not bad!" Yuchi Yanyan was slightly surprised, and a sense of pride arose spontaneously.
'As expected of the man who is favored by her husband, Guan Zhongleyi was nothing more than that back then! '
"I have a problem!" A rough and arrogant voice interrupted Yuchi Yanyan's thoughts. The speaker was Baiqing Diwang Qianwan of the Di tribe.
"According to the requirements, we all need to leave our nephews in the Protectorate of the Western Regions. I have no objection to this request. After all, the Shang Dynasty did the same thing back then, but... why are you, Xiao Yueshi, the exception? " Qianqian asked angrily.
"This..." Marquis Li Wen wanted to explain. After all, the Xiaoyue clan was thin, and only Yuchi Yanyan had passed down to this generation.
Just as Marquis Li Wen was preparing to retort, Yuchi Yanyan from behind the screen spoke first: "Who said that my little Yuezhi has no protons? And... our protons are not only for my little Yuezhi, they even represent... My husband!"
After the words fell, there was a commotion below, but they did not understand what Yuchi Yanyan meant. Li Wenhou was the first to react. He stood up unconsciously, looked at the screen and blurted out: "Could it be that the patriarch has..."
The words were not finished, but everyone present held their breath, waiting for the answer from behind the screen. After all, King Hongnong is one of the forces most likely to become the overlord of the Central Plains. If he really has his heir, then he is likely to be the heir in the future. One of the princes of the Central Plains will be the strongest backing for the Western Region Protectorate!
"That's right. I am already pregnant...not just me, but also Ana..." After all, as a woman, I am embarrassed to say more about this matter, but although Yuchi Yanyan did not finish speaking, But the meaning is very clear.
As Yuchi Yanyan behind the screen gave an affirmative answer, everyone in the hall cheered. If Yuchi Yanyan was just one person before, everyone was worried about what would happen if she gave birth to a baby girl, but now with double insurance, everyone changed To rest assured and have full confidence in the future of the Western Region Protectorate! The performances of Li Wenhou and Beigong Boyu were even more excited, especially Beigong Boyu, who even hugged each other and cried regardless of his image.
For many years, I did not hesitate to lead half of the clan to Dong Zhuo for the sake of the future of the Xiaoyue clan in order to seek more benefits. However, in the end, it was all in vain. Now the Xiaoyue clan finally has hope of revival...
...
Yizhou-Chengdu
After listening to Xu Shu's story, He Sian recalled what happened two months ago, and it is still fresh in his mind! In those days, He Sian, Yuchi Yanyan, and Ana hardly left the house. They sent Zhou Cang to buy food and deliver it through the maid.
After all, He Sian and Yuchi Yanyan are both heads of forces, and they have many things to deal with after their respective separations. They both know very well that after this separation, it is likely that they will not see each other again for a year, or even several years. Because of this, Only two people would be so indulgent, even dragging Ana to have sex with them.
Of course, He Sian also hoped to leave heirs for the two of them. Fortunately, Huangtian paid off and brought good news when Xu Shu returned. They were both pregnant, which made He Sian sigh.
Although Yizhou is calm on the surface at the moment, it is surrounded by dangers. Not to mention Meng Da who is confronting Yang Huai's army in the south and the barbarians who are eyeing him. The mobilization of food is an urgent matter!
"Yuan Zhi, is the allocation of grain and grass in Jincheng and Longxi counties going smoothly?" Fazheng on the side couldn't help but ask what everyone was most concerned about.
"The food originally allocated to Longxi County was enough to survive this winter. However, we still underestimated the appeal of Ciyousi to ordinary people. In just over a month, the number of people admitted by Ciyousi exceeded the original plan by nearly 40%, and it was also The trend is continuing to increase…”
Hearing this, everyone's hearts tightened. Fortunately, hearing Xu Shu's next words made everyone feel relieved.
"Fortunately, my lord is blessed with great blessings. Under the call of Mistress Yan, all the clans in Jincheng County have donated a lot of excess dried meat, noodles and other food. Only then can the urgent need be temporarily relieved. We can barely support it for two months."
"Xiaozhi, how is the war in the south?" He Sian looked at Fazheng and asked.
"Lord, the latest battle report is that Meng Da's men are currently defending Jiaozhi, and they are preparing to die together! Yang Huai also sent a message asking the lord if he should continue. If the attack continues, it may take three months at the earliest to completely defeat Meng Da. !" Fazheng replied truthfully.
"How is it possible? Meng Da has no reason to do this! According to previous speculation, Meng Da is likely to go south to Zhuyazhou. There is no need to fight with us in Jiaozhou!" Xu Shu asked with a frown.
"Xiaozhi, can our food and grass last until the end of the war?" He Sian asked with a frown.
"Right now, food and grass are already stretched thin. If we save more, it will barely be enough to last for three months. However, if we encounter some emergencies, we will no longer be able to deal with them!" Fazheng said slowly.
Everyone was silent for a while. He Si'an glanced at Jia Xu, who had always been silent. Seeing that the other person was just closing his eyes and thinking, he quickly withdrew his gaze. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke.
"Xiaozhi, allocate food and fodder for Yang Huai, and send a message to Guhui. Even if we can't annihilate them all, we must at least drive Mengda to Zhuyazhou! As for food and fodder... Guhui will find a way."
"Seeing that He Sian had already made a decision, Fazheng didn't say much and accepted the order immediately.
"Yuanzhi, it's been a bumpy journey. You should go back home and rest early. In the evening, Si'an will be the host to help you with the wind and wash away the dust."
After the two left, He Sian made a gesture, and the maids and Zhou Cang who were waiting around him all exited the meeting hall, leaving only Jia Xu and He Sian in the hall.
Handing Jia Xu a cigarette, He Sian lit it and took a deep breath, but hesitated to speak.
At this time, Jia Xu also opened his eyes, respectfully took the bamboo smoke from He Sian, lit it and slowly said: "My lord, Hong Fu Qi Tian, Wen has Yuan Zhi (Xu Shu), Xiao Zhi (Fazheng) and other capable ministers" , Wu has Zilong (Zhao Yun), Wen Yuan (Zhang Liao), Xiaofu (Gao Shun) and other handsome talents. Within five years, he will surely soar into the sky! In this way... Xu can rest assured!"
Hearing these almost last words, combined with Jia Xu's unusual silence after returning to Chengdu, He Si'an suddenly felt an ominous premonition...
