Prime Minister dare not be

Chapter 43

"As early as when the prime minister was still on the road, the county king secretly sent someone to give the order. This was a surprise, and even the prime minister could not tell." Zhang Zhao led the army and left in a hurry.

Mubai persuaded Xie Shu to go back to the tent to freshen up, but she was a little absent-minded, after entering the tent, she hurriedly washed her face and then told him to go out, her clothes were all stained with blood and she didn't bother to change.

She paced slowly in the tent, tasted all the emotions, finally sat behind the desk, and finally calmed down slowly.

It was getting late, and the tent was a little dark, Xie Shu didn't enter a drop of water, but he didn't notice it.

After an unknown amount of time, the horses outside the camp neighed, and she immediately got up, and before she got out of the tent, she saw Wei Yizhi get off his horse and strode towards him.

His face was covered with dust, only his eyes were as bright as before. He took off his helmet and walked into the camp. He stopped and looked at her a few feet away.

Xie Shu felt restless and distressed, and all his emotions had settled down, so he walked over quickly and hugged him without saying anything.

Wei Yizhi's eyes returned from astonishment to tranquility, he stretched out his arms to hug her, buried his face in her neck and let out a sigh of relief: "Ruyi..."

In today's battle, Murong Chao's army was completely wiped out, most of Sima Qi's troops were lost, and the rest surrendered. He fled with a small force, and was captured alive by Xun Zhuo when he was approaching the border.

After a delay of half a year, the flames of war burned from east to west, and the Changsha King's Rebellion was finally put down.

Great victory in the army, the Huotou army was extremely busy, and the smell of food spread throughout the entire barracks.

Mubai stood outside the tent, winked at Fu Xuan next to him, and pouted all the time in the tent, but Fu Xuan didn't understand what he meant, so he just stood there unsmilingly, so he had no choice but to remind the people inside the tent: "Cough, Young Master, King Wuling, it's time for dinner."

Xie Shu seemed to wake up suddenly, and let go of Wei Yi's way: "You must not have eaten well in this period of time, you should eat quickly."

Just hearing these words, Wei Yizhi felt tired, took her hand and said, "Then let's go together."

The soldiers came in with food. Xie Shu couldn't eat the blood stains all over his body. He went back to the tent and changed his clothes. Sit behind the case and wait for her.

"You are also shocked today, eat more."

Xie Shu sat down opposite him, blocking the bowl he pushed over: "Before you eat, you have to explain the matter clearly. Where have you been hiding all this time? What's going on with today's plan?"

Wei Yizhi said: "I still know the collapse of the mountain. It is not difficult to avoid it, but I have suffered some losses. Sima Qi and Murong Chao are not familiar with the terrain of Ningzhou. A, hiding in the mountains to cultivate wasteland. In fact, their soldiers and horses have seen us several times, but they thought they were farmers and didn't recognize them. We didn't come out of the mountains overnight until we received the specific time of your peace talks."

He looked into Xie Shu's eyes, "I still remember what you said to me last time. I thought you would not take risks for me. This time, you should send someone else to negotiate peace on your behalf. I can't trust you, so I ordered you not to tell you this. Anyone in the group did not expect you to come in person."

Xie Shu didn't say anything, just smiled.He has a smart mind, so why does he need verbal words, he naturally understands her current intentions.

"Hey, have you heard?" During lunch on the second day, a soldier squeezed his partner with his arms: "The relationship between the prime minister and our county king is not simple."

"Eh? Why isn't it simple?"

"Yesterday, when the king of the county returned to the camp, someone saw the prime minister jumping up and hugging him."

"Ah... huh?" The surprised tone in the partner's mouth was full of twists and turns.

Suddenly a gloomy voice came from behind: "What are you two talking about?"

The two soldiers turned their heads to look at the same time, and the young man in the azure blue shirt with large sleeves looked at them with narrowed eyes and a half-smile.

"Uh, no, it's nothing." The two soldiers hurried away and walked a long way before one asked the other, "Who is this?"

"It seems to be the prime minister's cousin, tsk tsk tsk, you really protect the prime minister."

Xie Ran walked towards the camp, saw Mubai, and beckoned him over: "Where's the prime minister?"

"In the tent of King Wuling."

Xie Ran glanced at the big tent, frowning displeased: "Why do I feel that the prime minister has already fallen into it?"

Xie Shu is good-looking, and it is understandable for him to rely on his appearance to stabilize King Wuling. After all, he has a heavy army in his hand, but it is obviously not the case now.Thinking of the thrilling battle on the battlefield yesterday, he still has lingering fears, is it worth risking his life for him?

Mubai wanted to protect Xie Shu, so he found an excuse for her: "Young Master and King Wuling are discussing how to deal with the rebels."

"Whatever," Xie Ran turned and left, "Remember to ask the Prime Minister when he will leave for the capital."

Mubai responded, and glanced at the big tent, thinking he should ask questions later.

Xie Shu changed into a sandal-colored toga today, the color is bright, and even his originally sickly face looks much better.When she went to see Sima Qi yesterday, she deliberately did not modify her appearance, so as to be a little different from usual, but this morning she re-decorated her appearance to add a little heroism.

She sat beside Wei Yizhi, watched him finish writing the memorial, and reminded him: "You still have to write a letter from home. Mrs. Xiang went to see me before I came, she was very worried."

Wei Yizhi sighed in a low voice: "She hasn't said anything all these years, but in fact, every time I go to the battlefield, she is worried. This time, I'm afraid she was really scared."

Xie Shu turned sideways and looked at him with his cheeks propped up: "I guess Miss Mu is also quite frightened, you should give some words of comfort in your letter."

Wei Yizhi nodded solemnly: "The prime minister has an order, and he must obey it."

Xie Shu rolled his eyes.

He gave her a funny look.

The war in Ningzhou is over, and the heavy troops of the Jin State have not retreated.Qin Guo probably saw that there was no benefit to be gained, so he waited and watched for a long time, and finally withdrew his troops.Tuyuhun worried that the Jin army would continue to attack their own country, so he sent envoys to Jiankang to seek peace.

Wei Yi ordered Xun Zhuo, Zhang Zhao, and Mo Rong to strictly guard Ningzhou, and 10 people from the troops brought by Yang Qiao were stationed there.

Xie Ran watched Xie Shu and Wei Yizhi go in and out together, even going back in the same car, his brows were tightly frowned.

Guangfu whispered beside him: "Prime Minister is really masculine."

"Shut up." He whispered.

As the chariots and horses drove out, the people along the way burst into shouts, everyone was shouting for King Wuling, and the crowd followed the army to the gate of the city before stopping.

Xie Shu sat in the car playing with his fan and sighed. Everyone only knew how to praise King Wuling, but forgot her merits. What a treacherous minister would never turn back.

The farther east he traveled, the closer he was to Jiankang. Wei Yizhi was inseparable from Xie Shu all the way, which naturally aroused rumors, but Xie Shu turned a deaf ear to it and didn't care.Wei Yizhi doesn't care too much, this journey is a rare time to get along, and there will be many constraints when returning to Jiankang.

Xie Ran probably couldn't stand it any longer, so he came to find Xie Shu after passing Jinxing County, and the two of them didn't know what they said, so he took the lead and left early that day.

Wei Yizhi watched him go, and asked Xie Shu who boarded the car: "What's wrong, Mr. Ran?"

Xie Shu said: "Our uncle is a person who abides by ethics. Seeing that you and I are so indecent, I decided not to be with you and me."

He laughed: "It's a pity, I wanted to invite him to Wuling County as a guest."

Xie Shu looked outside the car: "Are you going to Wuling County soon?"

"Well, I invited you to go when I returned to Jiankang from Ningzhou last time, but you didn't agree. Would you like to visit this time?"

Xie Shu naturally knew what he was thinking, but he just wanted to delay some time.She nodded: "Alright."

Wei Yizhi didn't want to waste the time of the large army, so he asked Yang Qiao to lead the army to escort Sima Qi to Jiankang, and he only brought a few people to Wuling County.

Seeing that Xie Shu was among them, Yang Qiao was deeply worried about the reputation of King Wuling.

Wuling County is famous for its unique scenery. As soon as you enter the county, you can see the green mountains and green waters surrounding the country.Just in the early autumn, when horses and chariots passed by, the falling flowers were colorful, and the farmers were working diligently, and there was a faint fruity fragrance from the fields.

Xie Shu scratched the car door and shook his head: "Your Majesty is eccentric, too eccentric! Such a good place is actually a fief for you, why don't you leave it to his beloved Jiu'er!"

Wei Yizhi said with a smile: "Your Majesty has his own arrangements, how can you wrong His Highness the Ninth Prince in the future?"

Xie Shu just said casually, didn't answer any more, and suddenly leaned forward to look north, thinking of Jingzhou, it should be so leisurely and happy now.

It was just dark when they entered the city, and the common people didn't know that King Wuling had returned to his fief, and no one surrounded the road to watch, and the road was unimpeded.Fu Xuan rushed back to make preparations ahead of time, and the Prince's Mansion of Wuling County was already lit up to welcome the distinguished guests.

The garden in the southeast corner of the Wangfu has the best scenery, stacked rocks and clear pools, flowers and shadows supporting the sparse, Wei Yizhi arranged for Xie Shu to live there.These few days of driving and horses were tiring, and she was also very tired, so she didn't talk to him much, and went to catch up on sleep as soon as she settled down, and didn't get up until the sun was high the next day.

This is much more comfortable than going to court every day in Jiankang.

After grooming, I went to see Wei Yizhi, and just arrived at the courtyard gate and saw Fu Xuan coming out with a basin of water in his hand, Xie Shu saw blood stains inside, and asked in surprise, "What's going on?"

"Back to the prime minister, the king of the county is a little injured, and the medicine has just been changed."

"Is he injured?" She immediately walked into the yard.

Wei Yizhi was sitting in front of the mirror and was about to put on his clothes when Xie Shu opened the door and walked in.

"Why didn't I hear you say about the injury?"

Turning around and seeing her, Wei Yizhi smiled: "It's okay, it's just a little skin trauma."

Xie Shu knelt down beside him, and stretched out his hand to pull his skirt: "Let me see."

She brushed away his long hair on his shoulders first, and then his clothes. Medicine had already been applied to his shoulders and the bandages were complete. She really couldn't see anything, so she had to give up.

Wei Yizhi turned his face to look at her, his eyes wandered from her smooth forehead to the tip of her eyebrows, eyes and nose, and then slid over those bright red lips, and landed on the small piece of jade-white skin on her neckline. Live by.

When Xie Shu raised his head, his face was already close at hand, his eyes were deep and as bright as black jade, and he could see his own face in them.His hand caressed her cheek and kissed her lips, he still had some control at first, but when he remembered that they were really happy with each other now, he gradually couldn't control it anymore.

Jin people are open-minded, and most women have nothing to do with reserve. Xie Shu grew up in the countryside, and he is not reserved. Now that he has made up his mind, there is nothing to be tweaked. Instead, he kissed him a few times, and suddenly found a gap and pushed him away. : "The story about you and me has probably been spread all the way. I'm afraid you will never be able to live in peace after returning to the capital. You won't regret it?"

Wei Yizhi put his arm around her and put it in his arms: "I don't regret it."

Xie Shu lay on his back on his knees, raised his arms, slid down his wide sleeves, revealing his well-proportioned pink and white arms, hooked his neck, pulled him to lower his head, and kissed him again.

Wei Yizhi's hand poked in from the skirt, and slowly fell on her waist, and he was pulling off her belt uncontrollably, when Fu Xuan's voice came from outside.

"Your Majesty, it's time to eat."

Xie Shu pushed him away, giggling.

Wei Yizhi had no choice but to sit upright and look at her with a frown: "So funny?"

"Who made you so impatient." Xie Shu sat down and adjusted his clothes: "Hurry up and change, I have to eat."

Fu Xuan waited at the door, seeing her coming out holding back a smile, but the county king in the room had a very bad expression for no reason.

There are not many servants in the Prince's Mansion of Wuling County, and even fewer maidservants, but all of them are as beautiful as flowers.

King Wuling's appearance is unparalleled in the world, and he has outstanding military exploits. Naturally, there are many maidservants who admire him, and there are also many who want to climb onto his bed with their heads sharpened.It's a pity that King Wuling looked gentle and elegant, but in fact he was very difficult to get close to. The maidservants didn't fare well after coming down a few times, and gradually became disheartened.

But now when the prime minister comes, the situation is different.Compared with King Wuling, the prime minister is not bad in appearance and has a better temper. If he can climb this big tree and be brought back to the prime minister's mansion, he will have a good life in the future.

Some daring ones couldn't bear it anymore, and had already secretly gone to curry favor with Xie Shu.

When Xie Shu came to Wuling County, he couldn't really relax.After returning to power, the emperor had to discuss with the prime minister before deciding on any major military and state affairs, so even if the emperor is in good health now, many government affairs will still be sent to her to check.

Of course, there is still time to taste something.

Wei Yizhi wants to do his best as a landlord, and plans to take Xie Shu around the city, and come to her early in the morning.

As soon as he walked in from the courtyard, he saw Xie Shu sitting in the gazebo with his back leaning on the railing, his arms stretched across the railing, his white and wide sleeves stretched out like butterfly wings, and the clear water below reflected her figure. into fun.

Just this back view is also exciting.

She was surrounded by three or four maidservants, each holding a lacquer plate, which contained the special food of Wuling County, including melons, fruits and pastries.Xie Shu was happy to eat, and the maidservants became more courageous, and gradually got closer, and one of them even held the pastry with his own hands to feed her.

Xie Shu ate it with her hands, and smiled at her, and now the others quit, and came up to flatter them one after another, "Prime Minister" one bite at a time, making people feel numb all over.

Wei Yizhi walked into the pavilion slowly, and said with a smile, "Your prime minister enjoys it."

As soon as the maidservants heard his voice, they immediately stood up, backed away, and stood still with their heads bowed.

Xie Shu chewed and shook his head: "It was good at first, but you scared people when you came."

Wei Yizhi sat down beside her: "It seems that the prime minister is quite satisfied with the maids in the palace?"

"I heard that there are beauties in Wuling since ancient times, and seeing them today is indeed the case. I don't want to go back to Jiankang anymore."

Wei Yizhi immediately said straightforwardly: "Since the prime minister likes it, the prime minister has randomly selected the people in the palace. It is fine to bring all the people here to Jiankang."

"The King of Wuling is so generous, can you really choose whatever you want?" Xie Shu rested his forehead on one hand, and glanced at the few people in front of him lazily: "The truth is that you have to choose carefully."

The maidservants were all excited when they heard this, and they all looked at her, secretly giving her a glance, "Choose me!"choose me!

Wei Yizhi saw the lacquer plate in his hand, picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, then turned his head, and saw Xie Shu's gaze swept over those people one by one, and finally landed on his face.

"As long as they are from the Prince's Mansion of Wuling County, they can be picked at will?" Her eyes were teasing, her tone was swaying, and the ending sound rose, like a hook, holding people's hearts trembling.

Wei Yizhi swallowed the pastry, his throat slipped, thinking of her pink arm hooking his neck, his mouth felt dry.

The maidservants felt something was wrong, the prime minister looked straight at our county king, could it be that he fell in love with him?
Sure enough, the prime minister likes a man?
The maidservants who have worked hard for a long time really want to cry...

It just so happened that Fu Xuan had something to ask Wei Yizhi for instructions, so he didn't stay any longer and took the opportunity to leave.

Xie Shu teased people, but he didn't feel ashamed at all, and picked out a few things he liked, and went back to his room after tasting enough.

When it was dark, it suddenly started to rain.Mubai walked into the room and said that Xie Ran had sent a letter.

Xie Shu only stayed here for two or three days, and Xie Ran must still be on his way at this time.That day he suffered from arrogance again, and left early after a few words were wrong, but this time he softened his tone in the letter.It turned out that knowing that she had come to Wuling County, he was extremely worried, and every word of every word was earnest, advising her not to fall into it, the entire Xie family was still counting on her, countless Xie family members were still counting on her, so it is better to go back quickly.

Xie Shu understood that he was worried that he might make a mistake due to circumstances, so he naturally wanted to write back to appease him, but after his reminder, he felt that it was time to go back, anyway, sooner or later.

Just as he was about to ask Mubai to inform Wei Yizhi that the new government affairs had arrived, Xie Shu saw one of the papers and said to Mubai, "I'd better go see him myself."

It was getting late, and when he walked outside Wei Yi's courtyard, Fu Xuan just came out, saying that the county king had just changed his wound medicine and was recuperating.Xie Shu then told Mubai to go back first, not to follow her, she went to talk to him a few words before leaving.

The gurgling raindrops fell from the eaves and splashed on the ground tick-tock.Xie Shu walked into the courtyard, but he didn't expect Wei Yizhi to be standing outside the door, the rain curtain was misty, his sleeves fluttered, and his feet stepped on wooden clogs, he was relaxed and relaxed, as if he had just walked out of the misty rain.

Wei Yizhi turned around and saw her a little surprised: "Why are you here so late?"

"I have something to tell you." Xie Shu walked over and took out the envelope from his sleeve: "I just received the State Letter from the State of Qin, please take a look."
