The passerby who doesn't have a word in the book

Chapter 43 43

"Good news! Good news! Great victory in the Northland! Great victory in the Northland!"

The soldiers who delivered the message galloped through the city while the sky was still dark, and their hoofs stepped on the blue brick road to wake up the whole Xijing city.

"Your Highness, good news from the Northland!"

Yan Yutang was anxious when she heard the celebs shouting outside the house, she casually gathered her clothes and opened the door.

"Where is it, show me quickly!"

The star handed the news to Yan Yutang, and began to straighten his master's coat with his free hands.

She no longer knew that this was the first time Yan Yutang lost his composure because of Xie Fanghan.

Yan Yutang scanned the entire text at a glance, and was relieved to see that there were no such words as "chief general" or "injured".

The star tidied up Yan Yutang's clothes, looked at Yan Yutang's calm expression, smiled and praised: "Young Master Xie, no, now I'm going to be called General Xie. The general is really good. He just arrived in the north and won the battle. It has all spread, the little general regained two passes and seven cities overnight, he is the reincarnation of a martial sage."

Yan Yutang smiled when she heard it, but when the star finished speaking, she suppressed her smile and frowned.

She looked at the victory report saying that "the chief general led the cavalry to gallop three hundred miles in the night to destroy Dayue", and she couldn't stop her fear.

"There's no one who fights like her!" She scolded softly, "If you get hurt..."

Star was listening to Yan Yutang's incongruous words, but her Highness fell silent after halfway through. She looked up and saw Yan Yutang's expression was complicated, and she didn't know what she thought of.

Ever since Xie Fanghan left, Yan Yutang was often contradictory like this, she was used to it, knowing that she was thinking about something, and didn't bother her, after tidying up, she quietly stood aside and waited for the princess to come back to her senses.

"Dark guard." Yan Yutang immediately called the dark guard after recovering.

"Yes." The dark guard fell from the tree and knelt down in front of her.

"Give me a reason." She looked at the dark guard with burning eyes.

The dark guard looked at the cold light in her eyes, and shivered silently in his heart. He knew what Yan Yutang was asking, so he didn't dare to delay and replied quickly: "Return to Your Highness, thank you... Young Master, I left in the middle of the journey." The large troops headed towards the north at high speed, and there were hidden guards around her, so we didn't dare to follow too closely, the journey was delayed for half a day, and when we arrived at Lianshan City, Mr. Xie had already dispatched troops to leave the city."

"Afterwards, Mr. Xie returned to the city triumphantly. The Northern Army sent back to report the news. They were fast fighters, not much slower than us, so this time the news could not be sent back to you in time."

"She led the troops out of the city as soon as she arrived in the northern border?" Yan Yutang's expression became even uglier.

"Yes." The dark guard continued after a moment of consideration: "Mr. Xie was exhausted after returning to the camp at night and fell off the horse. Fortunately, there were people from Huayuelou. That woman was very skilled, and she was the one who discovered us. people……"

The dark guard looked at Yan Yutang's increasingly piercing eyes, and said the rest of the sentence: "The woman said that Mr. Xie was just out of strength, and he would be fine after a few days of rest. She said that His Highness need not worry."

"A woman? Don't worry?"

Yan Yutang repeated these two words, the star beside him shivered, and silently lit a wax for Xie Fanghan in his heart.

The dark guard lowered his head, not daring to look at Yan Yutang's expression.

After a long while, Yan Yutang spoke again, the voice was very soft, and no emotion could be heard: "Xie Fanghan's news came back, Xie Mingyuan should be in a good mood, order to stop the news from Huayuelou, and make me happy."

The dark guard replied respectfully: "Yes."

Contrary to what Yan Yutang thought, Xie Mingyuan became anxious after hearing the news.

Xie Fanghan won this battle too fast.

His game is not set yet.

Unlike Xie Mingyuan, Grand Master Xie and Xie Mingtao stole the show that day.

It wasn't until the courtiers suddenly realized that this little general Xie, who had descended from the "Martial Saint", was Xie Taishi's Xie.

After the courtiers came to their senses, they looked at Xie's father and son differently.

The father and son of the Xie family, one of them is a high-ranking grand teacher, and the other is in charge of the household department. Among the civil servants, they can be said to be under one person or under ten thousand people. Now there is another "Little General Xie" who can fight. These three swords combined, let Dayan It is not impossible to change the last name.

When the courtiers thought of this, their eyes on Xie's father and son suddenly changed again.

The father and son of the Xie family had always kept a low profile in court, but now that they were stared at by the civil and military officials of the court, their faces were a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Emperor Yan came to court, so the courtiers looked away from them for the time being.

It's a pity that it didn't take long. After Emperor Yan mentioned the victory in the Northern Territory, the courtiers once again turned their attention to the two men. Unlike the sneaky scrutiny just now, this time they looked at them openly.

Uncharacteristically, Emperor Yan praised Xie Fanghan lavishly in the court. Yanhuang's words were like pouring oil on the fire, making the fire in the eyes of the courtiers even more intense. Even Grand Master Xie couldn't bear it, and his face shook a little.

After the court was over, Xie's father and son almost ran away, and they didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they entered Xie's mansion.

"Father, you can't go on like this." Xie Mingtao looked at Xie Huai with an ugly expression.

He really didn't expect his good nephew to be so capable.

He just went to the northern border, and he won such a big victory.

Grand Master Xie's expression was also very ugly. They couldn't make a single mistake in what they were going to do. Now that Quan Dayan was staring at them, how would they act!

"Being low-key these few days, let's take a look first." Xie Huai turned and went back to the study after finishing speaking.

Xie Mingtao hesitated for a moment, changed his way and went back to his room first.

Mrs. Wang heard the good news from the north early in the morning, and she felt a little uncomfortable. Her eldest son could not be an official in the court because of the Xie family's affairs, and the second son was pure in heart and only wanted to learn. It was cheaper for Xie Fanghan to let him With such a great prestige, thinking of her little daughter who has been fascinated, Wang grabbed the handkerchief, and the fire in her heart was higher than the other.

And when she heard the Emperor Chaoshang lavishly praised Xie Fanghan, the fire finally drained her reason, and she looked at Xie Mingtao who had just returned to the room, tears fell down without money.

"My fate is miserable. I gave birth to two sons, but none of them can enter the court as an official. Glory to my ancestors."

"The officials' wives in Xijing City already look down on me, and now I don't even have the face to go out to meet people!"

"..."

"If I knew this before, I should have been more cruel back then and let him go with his mother, so that he would not forget to harm me after raising him so much!"

"shut up!"

Xie Mingtao turned his head abruptly, and looked at her with angry eyes. He had never stopped crying to Wang before, but she became more and more outrageous, and finally said such words.

Knowing that she had made a slip of the tongue, Mrs. Wang quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, but she still couldn't get angry. She looked at Xie Mingtao with red eyes and said, "I just can't get angry. Neither Sheng'er nor Cheng'er is better than that kid, but let him Such a big limelight! Now I don’t know how the whole of Xijing will laugh at us, laugh at you!”

Xie Mingtao said with a dark face: "What kind of talk is this? It's all from Xie's family. There's nothing ridiculous about it."

Mrs. Wang snorted coldly, with disdain on her face: "The Xie family? Do you remember that he is the Xie family? At the annual banquet last year, no one with a discerning eye could tell that he was close to General Wei. Now that he has won the battle, You went out and said that he is from the Xie family, are you not ashamed to say that?"

Xie Mingtao looked at Mrs. Wang, his eyebrows furrowed together.

Seeing Xie Mingtao's appearance, Mrs. Wang stretched his arms and continued to light the fire: "Now Xijing City knows that our Xie family has a general who can fight. If he really recovers all the lost land, Dad will treat him differently. At that time, it will be even more difficult for Sheng'er and Cheng'er to get ahead, you are the father of the children, you have to think about them."

Xie Mingtao understood what Wang said. Wang didn't know anything else, but her words did remind Xie Mingtao of something he hadn't noticed.

"Don't think about what you have and what you don't have all day long. You don't go out recently, don't meet those wretched wives." Xie Mingtao dropped these words, turned around and strode outside.

Looking at Xie Mingtao's back, Mrs. Wang finally loosened the hand that had been tightly clutching the handkerchief.

"Father." Xie Mingtao entered Xie Huai's study.

Xie Huai nodded, motioning for him to step forward.

Xie Mingtao took the note in Xie Huai's hand, and his face became more and more ugly the more he looked at it.

Xie Mingtao: "The appetite of this group of Dai Viet people is too great. With such a large number, let's go grab the national treasury!"

Xie Huai's face remained unchanged, and he said in a flat tone: "They are trying to blame us."

"Excuse me?" Xie Mingtao thought for a while, and said puzzledly, "Is it because of Xie Fanghan? But Zhuo Zhuoer and Artur have always been at odds?"

Xie Huai nodded: "It's a discord, and they also hope that Artur will return in defeat, so that they can take advantage of the fire, but...they don't want to see Artur lose so ugly."

Xie Mingtao thought of the record of "two passes and seven cities in one night" on the victory report, and quickly asked: "Are they afraid?"

Xie Huai nodded, and his expression became serious: "The letter mentioned 'Sky Thunder', which we, Da Yan, did not record. We have no idea where Xie Fanghan got it. If it's just a small amount, it's fine. It's not good news for us."

Hearing this, Xie Mingtao asked calmly: "Fang Han has such talent, does father want to tell him about us?"

Xie Huai hesitated when he heard this, but soon he shook his head resolutely: "No."

Xie Mingtao's eyes lit up, and he quickly stopped and asked, "Why?"

Xie Huai raised his eyes and glanced at him indifferently, but did not pierce his small thoughts: "He was taught by Wei Baili's people, and Wei Baili's people have the same temperament, so it is impossible for us to Used."

Xie Mingtao was completely relieved, looked at Xie Huai and asked cautiously: "Then shall we..." Xie Mingtao made a gesture to his neck, but in return Xie Huai stared fiercely.

Seeing this gaze, Xie Mingtao's heart turned cold, but Xie Huai quickly averted his gaze.

"It's good for you to think this way. Weeds should be eradicated. Especially what we do, when necessary, the wife and children have to give up."

Xie Huai's tone was flat, but what he said made Xie Mingtao covered in cold sweat.

Xie Mingtao suppressed the fear in his heart and continued: "Then, shall I arrange someone?"

What answered him was Xie Huai's long silence.

After a long time, when Xie Mingtao thought that Xie Huai was acquiescing, the person sitting on the main seat finally spoke again.

"No need." Xie Huai lowered his eyes: "There are many people who want his life, and there are also many people who want to save his life. We are afraid that we will have no chance to attack him in the Zhenbei Army, so we will send people to investigate Tianlei's affairs. Come on, make sure to check it out."

"Yes."

Xie Mingtao took the order and bowed to retreat.
