While Liang Xiao and Bai Qin were talking, the guards suddenly came to report that Qin Baili was visiting.
It was cold outside, so Liang Xiao immediately invited Qin Baili into the house to talk.
Qin Baili handed the scroll in his hand to Liang Xiao and said: "These are some of our recent research ideas on governing prefectures and counties. You might as well see if they are practical first. We have discussed it privately and would rather let you do something else." Please be smart and don’t find out after arriving at the prison that you are useless and can only talk on paper.”
Liang Xiao understood and immediately opened it and took a closer look. He was full of praise: "It's very detailed and practical! What do Lin Xiu and the others think?"
"This is what we accomplished together." Qin Baili said solemnly.
"I'm looking forward to your performance more and more." Liang Xiao looked at Qin Baili with a smile.
He could probably guess that most of the content here was actually written by Qin Baili.
Qin Baili doesn't take any credit, which is really rare.
"We are also looking forward to it. After all, this is an opportunity to benefit the people." Qin Baili said with a smile.
Liang Xiao stayed with Qin Baili for dinner again, but Qin Baili declined and went back to Taixue to study.
Dingguohou Mansion.
In the boudoir, Mu Qinxue hugged Duan Yunxiu tightly with a distressed look on her face.
"Good sister, how can you be so stupid..."
Duan Yunxiu said: "In the future, Sister Qinxue will marry Brother Xiao with me. At that time, he will definitely be more mature and stable than now~"
Hearing that Duan Yunxiu was deliberately changing the topic, Mu Qinxue just sighed quietly and patted her shoulder gently with a gentle look.
"Sister, please listen to you, okay~"
To the north of Jizhou and south of Youzhou, there is a forest village in the mountains.
Long Wushuang sat on the throne, facing the furious visitor, Duanmu Hongping.
"Our family has given you so many benefits, but we just asked you to kill Liang Xiao. How can you come back empty-handed!"
Looking at Duanmu Hongping who was panting like an ox, Long Wushuang smiled a little more and said: "You might as well explain where the five hundred Xuanwei came from? What level of elite Xuanwei are? Do you need me to tell you? I took a risk with a thousand cavalry to kill Lanling and almost found out where I was. You kept promising me at that time that there would be no more than 200 troops along the way."
Duanmu Hongping was speechless for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "No matter what, Jibei Youqi has failed after all! Seeing that we have arranged so many horse dealers for you, don't you plan to do anything else?"
Long Wushuang said solemnly: "The Northern Hebei Army always collects money to do things and goes all out. It is a knife-edge business that licks blood. Our army has accepted the arrangement and has successfully penetrated deep into the hinterland. The other party will have unexpected reinforcements. It was arranged by you guys. It's inappropriate, you can't blame me. You have to know what it means to travel thousands of miles long distance. If you hadn't considered your sincerity, I would have doubted whether you wanted me and Liang Xiao to die together."
"You're worrying too much!" Duanmu Hongping was angry.
Long Wushuang ignored Duanmu Hongping's resentful gaze and said: "However, I already know something about Lanling Marquis Liang Xiao, and you should also know that this person will definitely be a target of our army from now on. If there is no business, , you can go back."
When Duanmu Hongping heard this, his anger turned into joy.
"As long as he dares to go out of town, I will send someone to notify you!"
The Taoist Master Shifang on the side reminded: "If this person wants to go abroad, his target must be Lanling or the Northern Territory, don't think so. The Great Zhou Dynasty respected filial piety, and the Marquis of Lanling was shown to the public by Beihu. You pay attention These two places are enough.”
Duanmu Hongping was finally satisfied and left with fists in his hands.
"Snapped!"
Long Wushuang then stood up and said angrily: "This group of aristocratic families really succeeds more than fails. If it weren't for my cleverness, a thousand people would have been wiped out!"
The Taoist priest from Shifang sighed: "Five hundred Xuanwei left the capital without saying goodbye. Apart from the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the only person with such power is Prime Minister Zhuge. In any case, this son is highly valued by the court and cannot be killed in a hurry. The Northern Hebei Army should Focusing on the grand strategy, ambush this person rashly can only be a moth to the flame."
"That's what I mean, but we still rely on those aristocratic families to sell military rations privately, so we can't offend them easily."
Long Wushuang nodded slightly and looked deeply: "What really makes me curious is that someone dared to charge at our northern Hebei army array that day alone. Who had such courage..."
Taoist Master Shifang said: "The informant I placed for you in the capital is currently studying at Taixue. He has already made friends with Liang Xiao and will provide necessary help in a timely manner. I'm afraid they won't be able to figure it out even if they think hard."
At this moment, there was a muffled groan coming from outside.
Long Wushuang and Taoist Master Shifang followed the sound and saw a sergeant's arm tied with bleeding medicine and holding a short sword in his hand.
There is a bloody letter tied to the hilt of the sword.
"Young Marshal, just now a man came to the gate of the village on horseback and shot a dagger at me, piercing my little arm!"
Long Wushuang took out the bloody letter and looked at the content with Taoist Master Shifang, and his eyes changed.
[If you dare to attack the Marquis of Lanling again, I will take your head - the Lanling Red Blood Sword. 】
"Red Blood Sword..." Long Wushuang's clenched fists rattled.
"This man is elusive and has excellent swordsmanship, but how did he find our village?" Taoist Master Shifang frowned.
"I can't believe that there are spies in our Jibei Army!" Long Wushuang sneered.
But soon, their eyes fell on the word "Lanling", and there was a bit more smile in their eyes.
"This person turns out to be from Lanling. It's really interesting..."
At night, Duan Yunxiu also came to Liang Xiao's house.
"Brother, the second sister is here to see you!!"
Hearing Jiang Fuxue's call, Liang Xiao immediately went out and felt his eyes light up.
In the snow stood the beautiful figure of Duan Yunxiu, dressed in red and wearing a cotton-padded jacket, gazing at him affectionately.
The necklace around her neck, the tassels on her clothes, and the golden steps on her head are all just right, embellishing the beauty of the 28-year-old girl and making her look swaying.
She usually looks stunning without makeup, but today she only wears some light makeup, and she looks even more soft and charming, which is so pleasing to the eye.
Like an elf who accidentally fell into the world.
Liang Xiao finally understood that this girl just didn't like to dress up.
In the past, she dared to draw two beards on her face and pretend to be a big man.
Behind Duan Yunxiu, Feiyun was holding an umbrella for her.
"Brother Xiao~"
The girl's affectionate call almost made Liang Xiao's bones brittle.
Liang Xiao stepped forward and held her hand, saying softly: "It's snowing too much outside, come in and sit down!"
Duan Yunxiu glanced at Liang Xiao and saw that he had changed his clothes and was clean. Knowing that he had gone home and had a bath, he couldn't help but blush, and pulled Jiang Fuxue into the house together.
Liang Xiao's room was simply decorated, with no murals or potted plants. Apart from tables, chairs and beds, there were only a few bookcases.
Duan Yunxiu looked around, his heart beating fast.
This is her future husband's family, which is full of security.
She had entered Liang Xiao's room before, but her mood was completely different tonight, and she felt flustered.
"When the weather is bad, if you miss me, send someone to notify me and I will go visit you." Liang Xiao swept the snow flakes off her shoulders, feeling very distressed.
Duan Yunxiu was moved and obediently agreed, but hesitated to speak.
Jiang Fuxue said: "Second sister, let me tell you the story behind Journey to the West~"
Duan Yunxiu felt like he was being pardoned and nodded again: "Okay~"
Liang Xiao looked at Duan Yunxiu affectionately, and the more he looked at her, the more he liked her, so he simply held her in his arms.
Jiang Fuxue, who was obviously only ten years old, looked at the two tired people and couldn't help but smile with a happy aunt on her face.
Two quarters of an hour later, the sisters finished listening to the new chapter of "Journey to the West" with great satisfaction.
Duan Yunxiu said to Jiang Fuxue in a slightly pleading tone: "Xue'er, today, you, can you go and have a rest early?"
Jiang Fuxue happily agreed and went back to her room under the watch of Feiyun outside the door.
In the room, the girl nestled in Liang Xiao's arms, not daring to express her anger.
Liang Xiao just caressed her black hair, his eyes full of love.
A moment later, the girl's call came from her arms, her voice trembling obviously.
"Brother Xiao, let's, let's have a baby, okay..."
"ah???"
