Yanzhou City, within the government office.
As the leader of the Yanzhou rebels, Pei Xiao did not do anything to disturb the people too much after completely occupying Yanzhou. Instead, he took the initiative to open granaries, kill corrupt officials, win over the people, and spread the news of the rebels' righteous deeds among the people to recruit local braves.
Some of his generals privately persuaded him to proclaim himself king directly. Pei Xiao couldn't help but laugh when he learned about it. He was revolting for a great cause. After killing traitors and monsters, he couldn't wait to proclaim himself king as soon as he captured Yanzhou. Who is the disobedient?
As long as people are blinded by immediate interests, they can do anything, and any long-term things are nonsense.
Having no available people under his command is also what worries Pei Xiao the most.
"Shuai Pei, there is someone outside who wants to see you."
"who?"
"This is the name card that the man handed over."
A subordinate delivered an envelope. Pei Xiao, who was sitting in front of the wooden desk, took it and opened it and looked at it. There were only two words on it.
Queen of Heaven.
Pei Xiao was thoughtful and held the envelope in his hands.
"Shuai Pei, see you or not?"
"What does that person look like and how is he dressed?" Pei Xiao asked.
"A man in his thirties, wearing a green Taoist robe."
Pei Xiao pressed the letter and said, "Let him come in."
"yes."
"Wait a minute!" Pei Xiao suddenly stopped his subordinates, thought about it, and said, "Get ready first!"
Not long after, a young man dressed as a Taoist priest stepped in. This man was slender, handsome, and had an extraordinary bearing.
Pei Xiao only took one look and said firmly: "Is Your Majesty a monk?"
The Taoist priest looked around at the scene in the hall and said, "General Pei is really cautious. Are you afraid of something unexpected if you put so many things?"
In the main hall where Pei Xiao was originally located, there are now several wooden frames with strange shapes, each with a transparent luminous sphere suspended on it.
Pei Xiao said calmly: "It is always a good thing to be cautious. I have never seen the methods of your monks. It seems that Your Majesty also knows this thing."
The Qingpao Taoist said slowly: "The Spirit Suppression Instrument can limit the flow of spiritual energy around it. If there are monks within the range, it will be difficult to use any magical means. This thing is specially developed for the monks in our country. Xuantang monk Most of them don’t practice physical fitness, so there’s nothing they can do with this thing.”
Pei Xiao said: "Your Majesty, you know it very well."
Qingpao Taoist continued: "But this thing should be a creation of Tiangongyuan, and it has always been strictly controlled. How did General Pei come to have it?"
"This is none of your business, your Majesty." Pei Xiao said, took out the envelope just now, and asked in turn: "What does this mean? Are you a person sent by the Demon Queen?"
The green-robed Taoist laughed: "General Pei already said that Pindao is a monk, so how can he have anything to do with the Queen?"
"Then who are you and why are you here?"
The green-robed Taoist walked up to a spirit-suppressing instrument and looked at the ball of light on it from a close distance.
"When the Three Realms Gate is opened, this thing will eventually be abandoned by the times. The monks outside the gate are all physically strong. Even if they don't use magical powers, they can still break mountains with one punch."
Pei Xiao couldn't help but be startled, opening the Three Realms Pass?
"Who exactly are you?!"
The green-robed Taoist's expression calmed down, and he turned to look at him: "The poor Taoist's name is Izumoko."
As he spoke, he took out something from his sleeve robe, which looked like two wooden handles put together. Izumo seemed to have pressed some mechanism on it, and the two wooden handles opened instantly with a "sizzling" sound. , the mechanism opens and closes, turning into a crossbow-style weapon with a red light string on it.
Pei Xiao's expression suddenly changed when he saw this thing.
"God-killing crossbow!"
He guessed that the other party might be a monk, but he never guessed that the other party also had a creation from Tiangongyuan!
How could Tiangongyuan have any contact with a monk and demon!
His eyes widened in horror, and he shouted loudly: "Someone is coming -"
#
When An Yan came back from the palace, she saw a figure standing in front of her house. When she got closer, she realized it was an acquaintance.
"Brother Shi!"
An Yan jumped off the carriage and raised his hand to greet him.
Shi Zhe heard the sound and came over, smiled and held his hands in his hands: "Brother An Xian, long time no see."
An Yan chuckled and returned the gift: "It's been a long time since we last met. I've been busy recently, so I haven't been to Wentang Pavilion. Why didn't I see Brother Shi come on the day of my wedding? I asked a servant to send the invitation. Brother Shi should have received it, right?" ?”
Shi Zhe apologized: "Unfortunately, I was also busy at the time, so I missed the gift from my dear brother."
An Yan said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it's good if Brother Shi has this intention. Come to Brother Yu's house first. Today we can make up for the wedding wine and let Brother Shi meet your siblings."
But Shi Zhe stretched out his hand to stop him: "I'm here to say goodbye to my virtuous brother."
An Yan couldn't help but be startled and looked at Shi Zhe in surprise: "Brother Shi... want to leave?"
Shi Zhe nodded and sighed: "I stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion for three years, and spent three years in vain. The world is so confusing."
An Yan thought about it: "Where do you plan to go, Brother Shi? What are your plans?"
"Go back to where you were before."
"Brother Shi, you cherish me so much. Brother Yu will always miss you in your heart."
Shi Zhe looked at An Yan and suddenly smiled and said, "My dear brother is my only gain in the past three years."
"Brother Shi, don't make jokes."
Shi Zhe shook his head gently: "I was not lying before. My dear brother is very talented in the field of mechanics. If you specialize in this field, you will definitely achieve something!"
An Yan muttered: "Brother Shi has good intentions, but I think people should live their lives as they are in their hearts. I really have no intention of doing this."
Shi Zhe's expression froze and he looked at An Yan blankly. After a while, he said, "My dear brother is more knowledgeable than me."
He sighed again, cupped hands with An Yan and said, "Take care."
An Yan also saluted him: "Brother, take care of me."
For An Yan, Shi Zhe was a person he could talk to. When An Yan first arrived, he also solved a lot of puzzles for An Yan.
Watching his back disappear at the corner of the street, An Yan turned around and walked into the house.
"My husband is back!"
Wenren Jinping was waiting for him at home and came over happily.
Looking at his beautiful wife, An Yan's heart softened a lot, and he directly took her into his arms regardless of Huan Xi's presence.
Wenren Jinping pushed her away shyly and panicked, looking around wildly.
There were not many servants in the mansion, and An Yan didn't like the feeling of being surrounded by people everywhere. After moving in, he eliminated some of them, leaving only some practical people.
"Why is my husband always so arrogant and still in the yard!" Wenren Jinping whispered with a blushing face.
"Huanxi is only here, so what are you afraid of?"
Wenren Jinping looked at Huanxi aside and saw that she seemed to be suppressing a smile, so he glared at Anyan again.
An Yan went back to the room first to change out of his court clothes. Wenren Jinping handed over the daily clothes at home. Huan Xi came over with water and towels for An Yan to wipe his face.
Huanxi is also very beautiful. Compared to Wenren Jinping, she is more lively and agile. She also plays the piano well and writes beautifully. According to her, she follows Wenren Jinping. Influenced.
Huanxi walked out again carrying the basin, and Wenren Jinping asked, "What are you looking at, husband?"
An Yan said seriously: "I didn't read anything."
Then he took her into his arms and said, "I miss Jinping so much after not seeing her for a day."
Wenren Jinping said quietly: "My husband is just a coaxer."
"I'm not lying to you. If you don't believe me, just feel it."
Wenren Jinping quickly withdrew his hand, his face turned red, and he said in anger and embarrassment: "Husband!"
This call made An Yan's bones almost brittle, and he immediately shouted: "Huanxi!"
Huanxi, who had originally left the room, wisely stopped going in to disturb the two of them. After hearing the summons, he quickly walked to the door.
"Uncle."
"Close the door." An Yan ordered.
Huan Xi was stunned for a moment, then said "Oh" belatedly and closed the bedroom door.
Wenren Jinping, who was being held tightly by An Yan, was shyly trying to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. She kept patting An Yan's chest, trying to get him to let go of her, but she didn't want her to step lightly and her whole body would collapse. The person was hugged horizontally.
"Husband! Put me down quickly!"
Wenren Jinping was anxious to death, but apparently did not realize that the source of all this evil was the word "husband" in her mouth.
outside the door.
Huanxi leaned boredly against the vermilion pillars of the pavilion, looking sideways at the fish swimming in the pond. Then he walked to the nearby warehouse and took out a bag of bait and sprinkled it down. Suddenly, the water surface burst into cheers, and fishes were dancing in the pond. The tail flapped there as hard as it could, raising it as high as possible with all its strength.
Fish are swimming and waves are splashing.
Huan Xi felt bored again, glanced at the closed door, and suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Then he walked to the shaded pavilion in the center of the yard, sat down, and played the guqin on it.
This is one of her young lady's dowries. Usually her hobbies are just music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry.
But she was restless. After playing with it for a few times, she felt that it was playing wrong and stopped. She looked at the closed bedroom door again.
My uncle really loves the young lady. According to this frequency, the young lady should be pregnant soon...
But even if you are pregnant, it will take a month or two to see the signs.
A month or two...
Huan Xi held his chin in his hand, feeling a little lost.
"Sister Huanxi!"
At this moment, a sudden shout woke her up.
It was Xiangyun and Zhenniang who had just gone to work in the house, but Huanxi, as Wenren Jinping's dowry maid and personal maid, did not need to do any chores except serving the uncle and the young lady.
A smile appeared on her face.
"Sister Huanxi, were you playing the piano just now?" Xiangyun and Zhenniang asked curiously when they saw Huanxi sitting here.
"Just fiddle with it a few times." Huan Xi chuckled.
The biggest difference between her and the servants in these houses is that she has received education. Unlike Xiangyun and Zhenniang who only know a few words, she understands music and poetry.
When she is with these ordinary servants, she will inevitably feel a sense of superiority. In the future, her status will be even higher.
"Sister Huanxi is so amazing." Zhenniang said with envy.
Huan Xi smiled and said: "I am not that powerful. The young lady is the real one. She is the most talented woman in Luoyang!"
She felt that it was okay for her to say this, and she liked to say it in her heart. It not only elevated her young lady, but also invisibly put herself and the young lady in the same position. It was true that she was not as good as the young lady, but what she was not as good as was the person's title. Wenren Jinping, who is both talented and beautiful.
Xiangyun nodded and said: "Madam is indeed powerful, and only a woman like Madam is worthy of the young master."
Huanxi didn't like hearing this. How could she be the perfect uncle for a young lady?
It should be said that my uncle is worthy of the young lady... But my uncle is indeed a talented person. The poems he wrote to the young lady are things that the young lady has not been able to write until now.
My uncle will definitely have a bright future!
Huan Xi thought of something and said to the two of them, "Go and let the kitchen prepare dinner. My uncle is back."
"The young master is back?" Zhenniang said in surprise and glanced towards the bedroom.
Huanxi urged: "Stop looking and go quickly!"
The sky gradually darkened, like a navy blue scroll unfolding.
On the bed in the bedroom, the exhausted Wen Ren Jinping lay in An Yan's arms, recalling the afterglow of the couple's love.
"Husband..."
"Um."
"Does your husband like Huanxi?" Wenren Jinping asked.
An Yan paused for two breaths before saying, "She is your personal maid, so I naturally like her."
Wenren Jinping complained: "My husband is coaxing me again, knowing clearly what I am talking about..."
An Yan tightened her arms, kissed her forehead gently, and said, "I'm not coaxing you."
"Husband, you must abide by the rules." Wenren Jinping said.
"What rules do you follow?"
Wenren Jinping pursed his lips, and a layer of blush covered his originally red face: "You have to wait until I conceive an heir for your husband..."
An Yan was slightly startled, but then he understood what Wen Ren Jinping meant.
After all, being a commoner is not a good thing.
Even if An Yan doesn't care about this, people in this era do care a lot if the order of birth and birth that should have been broken was really caused by his messing up.
There are definitely many unhappy people.
And this is also a very irresponsible performance. Wenren Yunjian will definitely not be happy.
An Yan said casually: "Don't worry, my husband is very disciplined."
Wenren Jinping said quietly: "How can my husband obey the rules? He is obviously the one who likes to break the rules the most..."
Even the postures they used when they were having sex were different from what those mothers-in-law taught her before marriage...
How does this bad guy know so much?
"Learn from books."
When Wen Ren Jinping asked him vaguely, An Yan said.
Wenren Jinping felt that this excuse was reasonable, so he blushed and said: "My husband has learned bad books about obscene literature."
"I think Madam was quite happy at that time."
"Ah! Don't say it!"
Wenren Jinping was so ashamed that he covered his head with the quilt.
An Yan grinned, then looked at the wooden roof in confusion, then took a deep breath and got under the quilt.
"Ah! Get out quickly!"
"My wife and I will love each other again."
"It's time to have dinner, Huanxi and the others are waiting."
"Let them wait."
The night is getting darker.
Huanxi was sitting on the edge of the corridor outside the door, holding petals picked randomly from the side in one hand.
She could faintly hear the noise in the room.
After tearing all the petals into pieces in a boring way, Xiangyun and Zhenniang also came to ask when dinner would be served.
How did Huanxi know that the two people inside had been there for an hour or two.
This time is too long.
She sighed.
One or two months, this time is too long...
