It is said that Su Xian set off from the marching camp all the way south, and soon arrived at the foot of Yingzhou City. It was already dark by then and the city gate was closed.
"Who is coming?" The captain guarding the city on the city wall was alerted. With a wave of his hand, a row of bows and arrows were aimed at Su Xian and Yang Zhilan below.
When Yang Zhilan saw this, she was immediately furious and dared to point arrows at the people she protected with her life. These people didn't want to live, right?
Just when she was about to fly up the city wall and kill those people, Su Xian quickly grabbed her, raised her head and shouted: "I am Su Xian! I am entering the city!"
"Su...Su Consultation!" The captain guarding the city saw Su Xian's face clearly, his expression suddenly changed, he waved his hand to order the soldiers to put away their bows and arrows, and excitedly ordered:
"Open the city gates wide and welcome Su Jianyi into the city!"
"..."
Su Xian's feat today was "bombed" from morning to night. They, the soldiers guarding the city, had heard about it countless times and had great admiration for the hero of Daliang.
If you open the city gate at this time, you may be punished, but the captain who guards the city can't care so much. If it weren't for Su Xian's contribution today, maybe the Liao cavalry would come to the city in a few days.
"There's no need to open the city gate, just put down the hanging basket." Su Xian quickly stopped him. He didn't want to be special, so it was better to keep a low profile in everything.
"But, Su Shenyi..." The city guarding captain hesitated.
"Huh? Are you having trouble?"
"No, no, come here, put down the hanging basket..."
"..."
After entering the city, Su Xian and Yang Zhilan went straight to the Su Mansion on Dongcheng Street.
After arriving at the destination, Su Xian got off his horse. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the door of the mansion, a voice came from the concierge on the side: "Husband, you are finally back!"
That was Liu Huixiang's voice.
"Madam, why are you here..." Before Su Xian could finish his words, his body was bumped by Liu Huixiang who was running towards him. He hugged Liu Huixiang with his backhand and continued to ask with a smile:
"...Why are you in the concierge?"
"My husband has not returned for a long time, and I am worried both physically and mentally, so..."
Liu Huixiang raised her head from Su Xian's chest, and as she was talking, she suddenly found that Yang Zhilan and the servants around the house were all staring at her in shock.
This is embarrassing.
Her face turned red for a moment and she was speechless.
Su Xian smiled and patted her sharp shoulder, saying, "Let's go back to the room first."
Liu Huixiang followed Su Xian hurriedly, holding Su Xian's arm tightly with both hands and lowering her head, quite like a husband singing and a wife accompanying him, or a little bird clinging to someone.
Because he was so close, Su Xian's arm touched a piece of softness.
Su Xian was in a good mood immediately, but he still lectured with a straight face: "Just wait in the inner courtyard for your husband to return home, there is no need to go to the concierge... It's getting so late, if something unexpected happens..."
"..."
They walked hand in hand through the garden of the mansion. Lanterns were hung in the corridor. The rockeries, flowers, lotus root ponds, pavilions, etc. outside the corridor were dimly decorated with lanterns and made them beautiful.
Liu Huixiang was told all the way and did not dare to refute. She only said that she would not wait for him at the concierge again.
Yang Zhilan followed behind, looking at the two people holding hands, a strong desire inexplicably welled up in her heart...
Return to the main courtyard and enter the main house.
Su Xian sat on a chair and rested like an old man, while Liu Huixiang was busy like a maid, putting away clothes and serving tea.
"Madam, it's time for you to find a girl who can do the work. It's not your place to do these things." Su Xian commented while drinking tea happily.
"I'm already looking for you..." Liu Huixiang casually said, "My husband is in great glory today. The people in the city say you are the hero of Daliang!"
When Su Xian saw her saying these words, his eyes were full of admiration and tenderness, and his smile was rippling. Her skin, which was already white and tender, looked particularly beautiful under the candlelight.
Su Xian's heart moved, he stretched out his hands and blurted out: "Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty!"
"Husband..."
Liu Huixiang dropped what she was doing and walked over shyly.
Su Xian suddenly took her hand and pressed her against him with force.
too suddenly.
When Liu Huixiang was frightened, she couldn't help but burst into seductive smiles.
Su Xian squeezed here and touched there, which was enough to satisfy her hand addiction. This move made Liu Huixiang dodge left and right, twisting like a beautiful snake.
During this period, she kept laughing, while Su Xian bared his teeth...
After joking for a while, the two stopped. Su Xian hugged her and whispered: "My husband came back late today, which made my wife worried. Is it because of my husband..."
"No!"
Liu Huixiang's bright watery eyes burst out with bursts of brilliance. She lay sideways on Su Xian's chest, gently touched Su Xian's sharp side face with her slender white hands, and said:
"My husband is busy with national affairs, how can I complain...Although the plague in the Liao Kingdom in the north and the plague in the south have been resolved, I think there are still many trivial matters that need to be dealt with in the future."
"Husband, just go and do your work. It doesn't matter if you come back later. When your husband is away, in addition to taking care of the housework, I will go to the Buddhist hall to burn incense and pray for Daliang and your husband."
"..."
"Uh..." Su Xian looked slightly embarrassed and grabbed Liu Huixiang's little hand touching his face, "Actually... my husband doesn't want to go out in the next few days. I will stay at the house to play with my wife."
"Don't want to go out?"
Liu Huixiang was stunned for a moment, looked at Su Xian with her watery eyes and said, "No, how can your husband ignore national affairs because of my concubine? Wouldn't my concubine become... beauty is a disaster?"
She had an extremely painful experience and was once considered a "concubine", which led her to attach great importance to her reputation and she wanted to be a good wife.
Su Xian suddenly felt a headache. The main reason why he did not attend to the so-called "national affairs" was to avoid Princess Lanling.
After all, he did a lot of outrageous things at Li Youqing's place this afternoon.
Although the princess would not cause trouble for him, she was still a woman, and her emotions would inevitably get out of control during special times. If she suddenly felt unhappy when she saw Su Xian, it would be bad to drag him out to fight.
But who would have thought that his stay at home to avoid Princess Lanling would actually hit Liu Huixiang's pain point.
Fortunately, he had an idea and said with a smile:
"Madam, you are worrying too much. You only need to have an overview of the whole situation for your husband. It is unreasonable and inappropriate for you to have to deal with those little bits and pieces personally."
"That's right!" Liu Huixiang nodded, and then asked: "Then who is handling the remaining trivial matters? Will there be any problems?"
"Don't worry, there won't be any problem. My husband's little brother at the princess's house can do it!" Su Xian made nonsense, as long as he could handle it.
"Who is your husband's younger brother in the princess's residence?" Liu Huixiang asked. This matter involves Su Xian's reputation. If things go wrong in the hands of that younger brother, it will be bad. She is very concerned about this issue.
"Wang Sima!" Su Xian blurted out.
"Wang...Wang Sima?!"
Liu Huixiang naturally knew who Wang Sima was. He was the most important official in the princess's palace, but...she slowly raised her head and looked at Su Xian blankly, her mouth gradually opened wide.
