Nagato has such a slim waist

Before dawn the next day, the sound of carriages and people could be heard at Wen's residence.

Xiao Cheng and the Feng family are about to leave Huaxi.

In order not to alarm others, they left early.

At the gate of Wen's house, only Wen Xingsui and Puyang Yi came to see them off.

The carriages and horses were lined up neatly.

The dim night lights flicker under the eaves.

Mr. Qi did not sleep all night last night.

In the middle of the night, he went out with his secret guards, and no one knew where he went. When he came back, he sat in the room, writing with his brush and ink, and a thick pile of paper was spread out.

But what was written was burned without letting anyone see it.

Peace and good fortune, I dare not even breathe a word.

They often served the emperor and were best at reading his mood.

Seeing them like this, the servants became very cautious.

The atmosphere was extremely stagnant.

It seemed as if the sky would never brighten again. The night was thick and dark, casting a shadow on everyone's face.

Wen Xingsu stood upright, and when he saw Xiao Cheng coming out, he stepped forward to greet him.

"No gift."

Xiao Cheng looked up at him.

This is also a variable.

Wen Xingsu was supposed to be a powerful general under his command, a general of the Great Qi who helped him expand the territory.

He was also a man who could lead the Qi army to resist the Northern Yong army and fought with Pei Cong for several years until he died on the battlefield.

He is so convinced...

Wen Xingsu will be loyal to him all his life.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be another man who couldn't get out of the pomegranate skirt.

He took refuge in the State of Jin.

"Xingsu." Xiao Cheng approached slowly, his steps were steady and his voice was gentle, "No matter when you come back, the door of Da Qi will be open to you. My seal of command is also waiting for your return."

Wen Xingsu stared at Xiao Cheng.

Being close, he could clearly see the dark area under Xiao Cheng's eyes.

"I can't go back, Your Majesty."

Wen Xingsu's voice was very faint.

After saying that, he glanced at Puyang Yi who was standing beside him with a slightly embarrassed look.

"To establish a family and a career is a man's life."

Xiao Cheng nodded silently and patted him heavily on the shoulder.

Wen Xingsu looked at him without saying a word.

We have known each other since childhood.

We once discussed world affairs by candlelight at night.

We also used to drink wine and talk about our youthful feelings.

None of the young people at that time would have thought that one day they would go their separate ways and go their own way.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Cheng asked, "When we meet in the future, will we be enemies or friends?"

Wen Xingsu frowned slightly and spoke slowly and gently, "At home, we are relatives. On the battlefield, I only listen to the commander's orders."

The head coach...

Xiao Cheng smiled softly and looked up.

He also glanced at Puyang Yi.

"When Pei Cong becomes emperor in the future, will you be the general?"

Wen Xingsui and Puyang Yi were both stunned.

Xiao Cheng's expression remained unchanged, as if he was just talking about ordinary matters and not anything earth-shattering.

"The Beiyong Army is full of Pei Jue's trusted followers. He has too many people to use. Giving them to you is charity, and not giving them to you is my duty. Xingsu, I am different..."

He looked into Wen Xingsu's eyes.

"The position of General of Qi is vacant and it must belong to you."

Wen Xingsu didn't say anything.

Puyang Yi was standing next to him, his entire body was stiff, from head to toe.

Is it possible for her to listen to such words?

The Lord of Pingyuan County, who had never been involved in political affairs, was on pins and needles at this moment.

She didn't know what Wen Xingsu was thinking.

He was also afraid and had all kinds of thoughts.

If he was persuaded by Xiao Cheng and had second thoughts, wouldn't that mean he would betray the State of Jin? Then they would become enemies, and how could their love for each other continue? How could they live happily for the rest of their lives...

Puyang Yi secretly pulled Wen Xingsui's clothes.

Wen Xingsui glanced at the team waiting to pass, silently took her hand, stepped aside, and bowed to Xiao Cheng.

"Slow down, Mr. Qi."

Xiao Cheng had a smile in the corner of his eyes, he was calm and unhurried, his posture was upright like a jade tree, and he had an extraordinary bearing, as if he was certain that Wen Xingsu would come back to him one day, and he chuckled.

"Xingsu, take care."

Xiao Cheng stepped on the stool and got into the carriage.

Wen Xingsu bowed slowly and said, "Take care."

Mrs. Chen walked over with a cold face and stood in front of him.

Wen Xingsu pursed his lips, raised his head, and said softly:
"Take care, mother."

Puyang Yi also bowed, "Take care, mother."

Madam Chen ignored Puyang Yi, snorted and glanced at Wen Xingsu, saying coldly: "I will just pretend that I never gave birth to such an evil child like you."

She flicked her sleeves and walked to the front.

Feng Ying just glanced at them silently, her face couldn't be seen clearly under the veil.

She, Feng Zhen and Feng Liang did not speak to Wen Xingsui and Puyang Yi.

Before Feng Liang got into the car, he secretly made a sarcastic face at Wen Xingsu.

On the contrary, Feng Jingting, who had ignored him before, brought his two concubines, Jin Shuang and Yin Shuang, with a smile on his face, like a loving father, and urged them to live in harmony and have a son soon...

The wife is not a wife, the husband is not a husband, the son is not a son, and the daughter is not a daughter.

This family is really ridiculous.

Puyang Yi saw it and felt troubled and confused.

Only after she saw them off did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally gone!

She asked, "What does my husband think?"

Wen Xingsu looked calm and had a smiling look in his eyes.

"Go back, you can catch up on some sleep."

Puyang Yi:......

That's not what she asked.

But since her husband didn't want to talk about it, she shouldn't ask anymore. Her mother had said that a woman should obey her husband after she got married.

The arrogant and domineering Lady of Pingyuan County is learning to be a virtuous wife to Wen Xingsu.
-
After dawn, the people of Huaxi woke up and found that all the guests in Wen's house had left. The elusive Emperor of Qi left Huaxi without even having time to take a look at him.

The end of December is the Chinese New Year. Every household is preparing New Year's goods, and the children are at home taking a break, each enjoying their own happiness.

After discussing it for a while, they forgot about it.

After the lively New Year's Eve was over, a recruitment notice was posted under the old locust tree outside Changmen.

Huaxi School is recruiting lecturers.

Nagato's furniture workshop, garment workshop, coal briquette workshop, mine and pottery kiln needed not only craftsmen and handymen, but also accountants and managers.

Nagato is going to expand its business and recruit new talents.

The notice was also posted at the intersection of Huaxi and the city gate of Andu County.

It was only then that people discovered that many people had come to Huaxi, but many people had also left.

The Prince of Danyang returned to Xijing years ago and never came back.

There are many different opinions as to whether Wan Niangzi, who inexplicably drowned in a reservoir, committed suicide or was murdered, and there is still no conclusion.

Kong Yun'e from Buyifang also passed away suddenly before the New Year.

She told a few sisters she was familiar with that she was going back to her hometown to celebrate the New Year, then treated everyone to a dinner and a drink at the garment shop. She entrusted the chickens, ducks and other livestock in the house to Ying Rong, and left Huaxi with Hengyang and his cat.

He said he would come back after the holiday, but there has been no news since then.

Some people suspected that the mother and daughter met with an accident on the road, and they were very sad.

Ying Rong went to find Feng Yun and told her about this matter. Feng Yun just said coldly that life and death are determined by fate. Ying Rong noticed that his wife was emotional, but she didn't say anything, so Ying Rong didn't dare to ask any more.

Then someone discovered that Mr. Ren, the most respected scholar in the village school, was also missing.

His son and his servants all disappeared without a trace.

Mr. Ren's house in Huaxi was empty, with no one in it, but there were traces of paper burning in the courtyard...

Some students were worried that something had happened to him, so they made a special trip to Andu City and found Mr. Ren's teahouse to find out what had happened.

The shops in the neighborhood were open for business on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, except for Mr. Ren's teahouse, which was closed...

No one knew what happened. The students who had been taught by Ren Rude bravely went to find Madam Feng to ask...

Feng Yun said, "Mr. Ren's family has a death, and he went back to attend the funeral. I don't know when he will be back."

"Dead?"

"Dead, several of them died."

The first month of the third year of Tianshou passed in this confusing speculation.

In February, Pei Cong returned to Xijing.

He did not ask Feng Yun whether she wanted to go with him. Before leaving, he just told her not to worry.

He also said, "If I get the chance, I will send His Majesty to Huaxi to accompany you."

He was comforting her.

Feng Yun actually had nothing to worry about.

A few years ago, Xijing reported that Yuan Shangyi still could not recognize people, and his brain could never recover from the fall in Yongshou Palace.

As he got older, he seemed to be regressing in age, always looking like a three-year-old child. However, after a year of careful treatment by the imperial doctors, his body became much healthier...

Feng Yun sometimes wondered if this was the result Yuan Shangyi wanted.

Don't be an emperor.

He did it in disguise.

You don't have to do the emperor's work, but you can enjoy all the emperor's blessings...

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it.

In addition, there is the group of people in Yecheng. All of them, including the Empress Dowager Li, were labeled as "rebellious gangs". They are now imprisoned. It has been delayed until now, and the years have passed. It is time to make a decision on whether to kill or punish them.

However, the Xijing court was in chaos.

The fight between the two parties was in full swing. As long as the new party proposed something, the old party would definitely block it. As long as the old party agreed to something, the new party would veto it. In the court, both sides had reached the point where they ignored reason and truth and only cared about party affiliation. They were eager to pounce on each other and bite off a piece of flesh.

Xijing needs Pei Jue more than Feng Yun.

This territory was defended by Pei Jue, and Feng Yun did not want it to be destroyed in factional struggles.

She smiled and said goodbye, her words full of understanding, "This is what a man should do. Your Majesty, go ahead and don't worry about me."

Pei Yuan also went back to Beijing with Pei Cong, bringing with her A Zuo and A You who were reluctant to leave.

She was the person who hated to see the young couple separate the most, so the night before she left, she brought her children to Huaxi and stayed in Feng Yun's farm.

The two men warmed up the wine, ate some appetizers, and talked a lot.

The most sincere sentence was said by her while she was drunk.

"No matter how much money you make, someone has to spend it. There's no end to the money you make... It's time to have a little one to spend money for you two..."

Feng Yun said, "Let it be."

She always had a smile on her face, no matter what Pei Yuan said.

But Pei Yuan could see that she was not very sincere.

"Don't you want a child? Or is it Ah Heong's problem?"

She was quite bold as she was a little drunk.

Seeing Feng Yun smiling and shaking her head, but not saying anything else, she almost let slip that Pei Jue wanted to build a palace for her...

Fortunately, I held back.

She only said: "It's not a good thing for the two of you to be separated like this... Sister-in-law, don't blame me as the eldest sister for being talkative. Ah He is a man, and he is alone wherever he goes. It's really sad to see him. How great it would be if you could be with him, and live happily as a family..."

Feng Yun understood Pei Yuan's original intention of saying these words.

Prince Yonghuai's harem needs a mistress to take charge of the household.

But she can't.

After sending the person to the village entrance and watching the convoy going further and further away, she couldn't help but think of the time when she came back from the garment workshop a few years ago and Pei Jue carried her to the bathroom and personally helped her bathe.

At that time, Pei Cong had already set a date to return to Xijing.

He worked very hard. Such a tall man, he washed her like protecting his eyeballs, and tossed her over and over again, forcefully and crazily, wishing he could die on her. Finally, he pressed her from behind, sending his heavy weight all into his body...

He said, "If you have a child, there will be someone to accompany you even if I am not here."

Feng Yun was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She endured it with difficulty, bit the back of his hand, and then repeated what she had said to Xiao Cheng, but with some changes in the formula, and said it to him while they were kissing.

"Why don't you retire and come back to accompany me?"

He asked in return: "If I take off my armor and put down my sword and gun, what can I do?"

Feng Yun held his calloused hand, smiled, and exhaled sweetly, "Give birth to a child."

"What do you eat? How do you survive?"

"I'll support you."

Pei Jue didn't sleep that night either.

He stood alone by the window with his hands behind his back. The night light was very dim and could not illuminate even an inch of the courtyard. He should not be able to see anything.

But Feng Yun was wrapped in the quilt and could see his back clearly.

She thought this was the greatest understanding between them as a couple.

There is some affection.

After sleeping together for three years, even pigs can develop feelings for each other, let alone humans...

However, no one will put down the knife in his hand because of this love.

Because they all know that if a person without weapons fights the world with bare hands, one mistake will lead to eternal damnation and death without a burial place... (End of this chapter)
