Chapter 28
At night, Yan Xi sat at the table and practiced calligraphy, because it was really difficult to think of countermeasures.These men are really hateful, and Xi Xi feels that she has a rare sense of frustration.But for herself, time is tight, and she must leave Wu State before Yun Jingyue completely controls Yue State.After all, she really took a risky move this time, a step that was much more difficult than she imagined.
Looking at the already thick rice paper on the table, Yan Xi sighed. At this moment, she really misses Shui Wuya. No matter from which aspect, she can talk freely with him. Even if she can't think of a way, at least she can relax.
Rubbing her forehead and leaning on the back of the chair, she sighed leisurely: "Ah! Yan Xi, you are really useless, when did you rely on men like this!" After speaking, she opened her eyes, only to hear two knocks on the door .
"Come in." Yan Xi wondered why there were still people coming from the mansion even after midnight.
"General, let me see that the light in the general's room is always on, so I made some supper, the general may as well eat it while it's hot." After hearing this, Yan Xi looked at Xun Fan thoughtfully, and after a while Then he said, "Well, let it go."
Xun Fan stepped forward and put the soup cup in his hand on the table, and then stepped forward to arrange the rice papers that were all over the desk.
Yan Xi lowered her eyes: "Xun Fan, what do you think I can do well now?" She didn't know why she asked this question, and even she was a little puzzled when she said it, besides, Xun Fan was probably sent by the emperor to her side Careful work, if such words reach the ears of the emperor, they will not be underestimated!
Xun Fan was also taken aback, he raised his head and saw that although Yan Xi was expressionless, she seemed to care about his answer, he didn't stop what he was doing, and said while tidying up: "The general can only wait now, wait for a suitable one. opportunity."
Wait?Yan Xi sneered in her heart, this is the word that she can't bear the most in this moment of race against time, and because Yun Jingyue has said this word to herself so many times, she now hates this word so much.
Xun Fan seemed to see the sarcasm in Yan Xi's eyes, and he added: "Or wait until the people of Wu Kingdom come to accept a female general."
After hearing this, Yan Xi's heart shuddered, thinking carefully that she really had no other way at present, she frowned: "Can't I make one at this time?"
Xun Fan shook his head, seeing that Yan Xi had listened to his own words, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "It's not impossible, but the general is actually quite unfamiliar with the situation in Wu country now, and Xun Fan is worried that if the timing is not right, it will be counterproductive." It’s self-defeating, it’s better to wait for this opportunity to appear.”
Xun Fan was so sure when the opportunity appeared, Yan Xi's eyes suddenly lit up, this is true, King Wu should not be so stupid, using imperial food to support a useless person, he will definitely find the opportunity to test himself now, I am afraid it is Looking for it.On the contrary, I have been too impetuous recently, and today I was discovered by Xun Fan, and it turns out that I am the one who is bothering me.
"Xun Fan." There was joy in Yan Xi's eyes, she raised the corners of her lips and said seriously to Xun Fan: "Thank you."
Xun Fan was taken aback when he saw Yan Xi's smile, but it should be said that this is a normal reaction, Yan Xi deepened his smile: "Xun Fan, what do you want?"
Xun Fan lowered his eyes to hide the astonishment in his eyes just now, his lips moved but did not make a sound, after a while he said: "It would be great if the general can increase Xun Fan's monthly salary."
Yan Xi smiled lightly: "Really, you are in charge of this house, it's nothing if you want more money, just add it yourself."
After hearing this, Xun Fan coughed twice: "General, with all due respect, we don't have much silver taels left in our house. I'm afraid that half of the servants' silver taels this month may not be paid."
"Eh?" Yan Xi was stunned for a moment and then his eyes widened: "No way!" Before that, she was short of money in Yue State, but how could she be so short in Wu State: "Before, what was rewarded by His Majesty?"
Xun Fan hesitated for a moment: "In the past few days, the daily expenses and rewards in the mansion have been almost used up. In addition, the princes in the mansion also have a lot of monthly silver, so..."
Xun Fan didn't continue talking, and Yan Xi also understood that it was clearly saying that she couldn't live on her own salary, because the king of Wu gave her these few men!Pets are also expensive.Sighing, Yan Xi pulled out a smile: "Can't I drive them out?"
Seeing Xun Fan looking at herself expressionlessly, Yan Xi licked her lips: "I see, I'll think of a way."
After all, I seem to be very short of money recently, and now it's time to go to court again, Yan Xi doesn't hire a sedan chair, and walks to the palace on foot.By the way, how can the money come in faster?In the past, I was not greedy. When I came to Vietnam, I paid a lot of money to the emperor's daughter, but of course I, who was away all the time, felt so. The other emperors seemed to rely on their official positions to earn money and family subsidies.
When I was at the border before, I never worried about the issue of money and food, because these two items were always in charge of Jingchou or Yun Jingyue. For war, they never dared to give less or late to the most important food For myself, this is also the most reassuring thing for those soldiers who follow me.It even said that following General Huoyun, you absolutely don't have to worry about logistical issues.Now that I think about how I was able to win so many battles and win the title rivaling Murong Lian, I actually relied on many people, and I was barely aware of this problem before.
"General Huoyun." Following the voice, Yan Xi saw that it was actually the prince. He was opening the sedan chair curtain to look at him, and Yan Xi stepped forward suspiciously and bowed: "Your Highness."
The prince smiled lightly: "After the court today, I wonder if I can invite the general to have a cup of tea?"
Yan Xi responded in surprise: "This is really an honor."
The crown prince nodded slightly: "Then, I will take my leave first." After speaking, he put down the curtain of the sedan chair and the sedan chair hurried past Cheng Xi.
Yan Xi scratched her cheek, then raised her eyebrows suddenly, the prince is the prince of Wu country, there are definitely many people who give presents, isn't this a good opportunity?But speaking of it, the crown prince looks down on her, so Yan Xi is not sure whether this visit is good or bad, but she still puts away her extra thoughts. These days, she has been thinking about going to the frontier to fight and make meritorious service, but her head is not clear. Become stupid, in this court, if he plays some role, isn't it the same.Whoever said she was General Huoyun could only fight and make meritorious deeds.When she was in the Yue Kingdom, she didn't stay in the court because she didn't have the support of her relatives. If she stayed in the court, she was afraid that she would only be crushed. Accidentally hitting and knocking her down really made her a name for herself on the battlefield.
However, I have never really been an official before, and I don’t know if it is good to be an official. Although I have been named a general, I still have nothing to say in the Ministry of War. King Wu said that he needs to ask about the situation of the Ministry of War. Good to know some for future.
In the court hall, apart from routine matters, they talked about the frontier war. When talking about it yesterday, King Wu deliberately refused to let him speak. If he still refused to let him talk today, Yan Xi decided to go to the Ministry of War to find fault.
But he didn't expect King Wu to turn to look at himself, and said with a smile, "I don't know what General Huoyun thinks?"
Hearing this, Yan Xi stepped forward: "Looking at the borders of the three countries now, at first glance, it seems that the three countries are united, and the troops are all stationed in one place, but after Murong Lian was driven away by the minister, I think the three armies may have their own Yixin, this alliance may not be long."
King Wu raised his eyebrows: "What are you talking about, Aiqing? I believe no one would do such a treacherous thing."
Yan Xi lowered her eyes: "Your Majesty is right, just because His Majesty doesn't think so doesn't mean that some people don't do it. I think, be careful when sailing for thousands of years, and you still have to be careful about everything."
"Look at what the general said, I have to guard against it? It's a good thing to have good relations with the other two countries now, so how can you be so provocative like the general. I see that the general's precautions are false, and public revenge is true." The Minister of the Ministry of War said .
Yan Xi bit her lip, there are so many people in the court who are picking stabs, she really wants to swipe her knife like on the battlefield to make that person shut up.
"Father, my son thinks, what General Huoyun said is not unreasonable. Although the three kingdoms have not fought openly for so many years, after all, there have been some secret fights. We really can't judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but We can't be completely defenseless, and let others have the possibility to attack." Is this person the Third Prince?
Yan Xi looked at the man standing beside her from the corner of her eye. He seemed to be very young, with a round baby face with a calmness and seriousness rarely seen at his age. And it became more and more obvious, the thick eyebrows were curved like eyes that matched his lovely crescent moon.
This third prince is very good at talking, on the one hand, he did not directly refute the Minister of War, on the other hand, he agreed with his own point of view, as if realizing that he was looking at him, the corners of his lips raised slightly to reveal a fake smile.Yan Xi gasped, subconsciously, she didn't want to have a deep friendship with such a person.It may be that Yan Xi has a beast-like intuition. Relying on this intuition for so many years, she has avoided many catastrophes in various aspects.She had an intuition that this boy was dangerous, but when she thought about it carefully, even though he had a baby face, even if he was a few years older than herself, it was easy to be careless because of his childish face.
Yan Xi's somewhat dodgy gaze caused a chill to pass through the third prince's slightly squinted eyes. Thinking about how he has taken the initiative to win over, what else is she thinking, don't toast or eat fine wine, but a mere woman, I really think Do you have any skills?
Yan Xi didn't know what the third prince was thinking, she just avoided it subconsciously, and regretted it after realizing it, it's rare that someone in the court is willing to win her over, so she should seize the opportunity quickly.However, if you stand in a team, you still have to think twice, after all, if you stand in the wrong position, you will not be as simple as losing money in a casino.
