The weather was sunny, the cool wind drifted in through the windows, and the house was instantly filled with the fragrance of flowers.

Yan Wushuang was talking to Tie Kui, smelling the fragrance and saying with a smile: "The osmanthus flowers in the courtyard bloomed yesterday. As soon as the wind blew in, the house was filled with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers. "There is an osmanthus tree in Yan Wushuang's yard, and this tree was transplanted from outside. As for why Yan Wushuang likes the osmanthus tree, no one can understand it.

Tie Kui said with a smile: "If the prince doesn't mind, I'll fold a branch of osmanthus and put it in the bedroom later." "Tie Kui was transferred to the deputy commander of the forbidden army in the capital a year ago, and the commander was Lin Fengyuan. Unlike before, Tie Kui has a very bad relationship with Lin Fengyuan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is like fire and water. But this is exactly the result that Yan Wushuang wants.

Yan Wushuang smiled and said, "If you like it, you will fold it back later." By the way, does your wife still take her three daughters to Zhuangzi in the countryside?" A year ago, Xiao gave birth to another daughter in Zhuangzi.

When Tie Kui heard this, the smile on his face narrowed a little, and said, "She is also clean in the countryside." Otherwise, there will be endless quarrels with the Lu family in the mansion, and the mansion will be so clean that the chickens and dogs will not be clean. ”

Yan Wushuang smiled and said: "In the end, it is a married couple, if you keep putting her on the village in the countryside, what will others say? Find a day to bring people back!"

Tie Kui's heart tightened, but his face didn't show half a point, and said, "Yes, I'll let someone pick her up when I go back." "Yan Wushuang asked him to take back his wife and daughter, it must be no good thing.

Meng Nian opened the curtain and walked in, looked at Yan Wushuang with a solemn expression and said, "Lord Wang, what's wrong?

Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "No, he promised very happily." It's just that I'm always worried about him. If it weren't for the fact that Dashan would have let Tie Kui go this time, I wouldn't want to let him go. ”

Meng Nian said: "Lord Wang, although Tie Kui is a little greedy for money, he is always measured. Moreover, we also know him well, and we have been doing our best all these years. Let him go, it's better than letting Lin Feng go away!" "Yunqing and Yu Baojia have formed an alliance two years ago, and in the past two years, Jiangnan has provided a lot of financial resources, allowing Yan Wushuang to expand 300,000 soldiers and horses. This time, Yu Baojia asked the imperial court to send 100,000 soldiers and horses to Anhui, and Yan Wushuang agreed, and ordered Qiu Dashan, who was stationed in Shandong, to go to Anhui.

Qiu Dashan didn't object, but just asked Yan Wushuang to let Tie Kui go over to assist him. Tie Kui was originally Qiu Dashan's arm, and there was no reason to refuse this request, so Yan Wushuang could only agree. However, Yan Wushuang has not let Tie Kui know about this news for the time being.

Yan Wushuang said with some concern: "In the past two years, Yunqing has recruited another 200,000 soldiers and horses, and now Yunqing has a million men and horses in his hands. If he sends troops to attack Jiangnan, I am afraid that there will be a fierce battle. ”

Meng Nian also showed worries, although in the past two years, they have received the financial resources provided by Yu Baojia and Yu Chunhao to recruit troops, but they are still much worse than those in the northwest.

Gao Dongfeng said outside: "Lord Wang, Mr. Meng, there is news from the northwest. "In this case, the message should not be too urgent.

Yan Wushuang finished reading the message sent over, and then handed it to Meng Nian. Meng Nian was very surprised after reading it: "For more than a month, Yunqing has been taking care of government affairs, and Han Yuxi has been huddled in the backyard. Does she want to return to Yunqing?"

Yan Wushuang said expressionlessly: "Impossible." Even if Han Yuxi wants to return to Yunqing, it is impossible to be in the time when the overall situation is undecided. And it is not easy for Han Yuxi to get to this day, how can he return the power to Yunqing so easily?"

Meng Nian said: "What could be the reason for that?"

Yan Wushuang looked at the letter in Meng Nian's hand and said, "Didn't it say that it was for the child. ”

Meng Nian obviously didn't believe it, and said, "Lord Wang, do you think Han Yuxi will put down the power in his hand for the sake of the child?"

Yan Wushuang glanced at Meng Nian and said, "This is only temporary, it won't be long before Han Yuxi will be back in power." "Han Yuxi will temporarily put down her rights for the sake of her children, but she can't be like this all the time. Aside from Han Yuxi's reluctance to let go of his rights, Yunqing is now inseparable from Han Yuxi's help.

Meng Nian felt that this was reasonable: "It's strange to say, the triplets are all five years old, and Han Yuxi has not been reborn in the past five years." ”

Yan Wushuang said: "Having four sons is enough for Han Yuxi. If she keeps giving birth, it will delay her business. "The son is not too expensive, Yan Wushuang has a deep understanding of this. He now had seven sons, none of whom pleased him, including the sons.

Meng Nian shook his head lightly and did not continue the topic: "Yu Baojia suddenly asked to send troops to support Anhui this time, and Yu Baojia will not do such a weak thing because of his temperament. ”

Yan Wushuang's expression was flat, and he said: "Even Yu Baojia's stubborn and self-serving temperament will definitely not ask the imperial court to send troops, and there is a good chance that this matter was requested by Yu Chunhao." "After two years of recuperation, the northwest has recovered its strength, and it is estimated that there will be a war next year. This was unthinkable to Yu Baojia, and it was impossible for Yu Chunhao to think of it.

Although Jiangnan claims to have 500,000 soldiers and horses, the combat effectiveness of these soldiers and horses is less than half of that of the Northwest Army. In this case, if you don't ask the imperial court for help, once the Northwest Army comes, Jiangnan will soon fall into the hands of Yunqing.

Meng Nian's face was worried, although their overall strength was stronger than before, but Yun Qing had a million soldiers and horses in his hands, and Yun Qing's strong generals were like clouds, he really didn't think that he had much chance of winning on his side.

Yan Wushuang knew what Meng Nian was worried about, and said, "I can't worry about this kind of thing. ”

Meng Nian's heart was shocked: "Lord Wang, don't you have confidence in this battle?" If this is the case, this battle will be lost before it starts.

Yan Wushuang shook his head lightly and said, "Although Yu Chunhao has a hand in attracting people, he has no prestige in the army. And Yu Baojia is stubborn for his own use, and his reputation in Jiangnan has not been good over the years. If the two of them want to keep Jiangnan, it is not ordinary. However, although Yunqing has a million soldiers and horses, in fact, Yunqing can only use four or five hundred thousand soldiers and horses. If the imperial court sends another 200,000 troops, Jiangnan will not be unable to protect it. ”

Meng Nian immediately vetoed Yan Wushuang's words: "If we send 300,000 troops to Jiangnan, if Yunqing takes advantage of the situation, the capital will be in danger." "Even if Jiangnan is lost, it can't put the capital in danger.

Yan Wushuang showed sarcasm in his eyes and said, "You don't need to worry about this, neither Yu Baojia nor Yu Chunhao will agree to my suggestion." ”

The 300,000 soldiers and horses of the imperial court arrived in Jiangnan, which means that Jiangnan was controlled by Yan Wushuang. Yu Chunhao and Yu Baojia are not stupid, how could they agree.

Meng Nian smiled bitterly and said, "Yunqing and Han Yuxi have the same heart, but Yu Baojia and Yu Chunhao have been guarding us. In this case, how did we win the cloud? ”

Yan Wushuang was silent.

When Tie Kui returned to the mansion, he called Zhong Shantong into the house and said, "You go to Zhuangzi now and bring Mrs. and Ruyi back." ”

Zhong Shantong looked surprised: "Kuizi, didn't you say before that you would let your lady and girl live in Zhuangzi all the time? Why do you suddenly want to bring your lady and girl back now?"

Tie Kui's face was angry: "It was Yan Wushuang who asked me to bring my wife and them back." She put the Xiao family in the countryside Zhuangzi, but Yan Wushuang still didn't let it go.

Zhong Shantong asked, "Good manner, why did King Yan ask about your housework?"

Tie Kui has not had any contact with people in the northwest in the past two years. On weekdays, in order not to arouse Yan Wushuang's suspicion, he is even more cautious, so the possibility of his identity being exposed is not high. Tie Kui also seriously thought about this on the way back: "I think it may not be long before I will lead the troops to the battle." ”

Zhong Shantong raised his head fiercely, looked at Tie Kui and said, "Could it be that you are going to Jiangnan?" The imperial court wants to send troops to Jiangnan, which is not a secret thing. It's just that Zhong Shantong didn't expect that Yan Wushuang would send Tie Kui.

Tie Kui nodded and said, "It should be so." Otherwise, Yan Wushuang wouldn't have asked me to pick up their mother and daughter back. "Xiao returned to Beijing with the child as a hostage.

Zhong Shantong said: "Kuizi, if there is a war, you will definitely have to confront the Northwest Army." What should I do then?"

Tie Kui said: "My identity cannot be revealed until the end. Otherwise, with Yan Wushuang's temperament, he will put me to death with all his might. "If Yan Wushuang knows that he is the one who has repeatedly leaked secrets, even if he escapes to the northwest, he won't want to sleep again.

Zhong Shantong said with some sighs: "Then it will take many years!" Although Yunqing and Han Yuxi are very strong, if they want to defeat Yan Wushuang, it will take many years.

Tie Kui said: "Once Yunqing captures Jiangnan, it won't take ten years, and their husband and wife will be able to take the world. "The Northwest is strong and strong, and the only thing lacking is money, and if it occupies Jiangnan, it can make up for the lack in this regard. So at most, the husband and wife can get this world in ten years, and he has been waiting for more than 20 years, and it is not bad for these ten years.

Zhong Shantong felt that Tie Kui was a little optimistic, Yan Wushuang was not a vegetarian. The successive defeats before were not because Yan Wushuang was incompetent, but because those in power in the local area had their own thoughts, so they were so easy to be attacked. But if Yunqing leads the troops to attack the capital, it may not be successful. However, Zhong Shantong also knew that he should not say such disappointing words at this time. So Zhong Shantong said with a smile: "At that time, Kuizi, you don't need to pretend to be a fan of wealth anymore." Tie Kui actually doesn't love money, and part of the money he has collected over the years has been distributed to the soldiers below, and part of it has been subsidized by the families of the soldiers who died in battle under him.

Tie Kui nodded lightly and said, "I also hope that day will come soon." "When you get to that ****, you can be your true self again, and you can worship your ancestors.
