Chapter 713: Dry Firewood

To be honest, Xu Jin is really a little jealous of Xie Qian, a sinister old guy, and he almost planted himself in the pit dug by others, so Jiang is still old and spicy, but can't he hide if he can't be provoked? Being able to bend and stretch is a big husband.

So, after arranging and handling the defense of Linshanwei the next day, Xu Jin led 500 battalions and wolf soldiers to set off back to Ningbo Mansion. Of course, the reason why Xu Jin went so quickly was not all to avoid Xie Qian, an old thing, because after this battle, Xu Hai had already broken his muscles and bones, so next, Xu Jin planned to concentrate on completely defeating Wang Zhi first.

Yuyao County and Ningbo Mansion are only more than 100 miles apart, so although the army set off at almost noon, it arrived outside Ningbo Mansion in the evening, and at this time, Chang Guowei, who was ordered to return to help, was already stationed outside the West City Gate.

It is said that the night before yesterday, Xu Jin sent a fast horse to Fenghua County to summon Chang Guowei to rush back to help, but as soon as Chang Guowei returned to the vicinity of Ningbo Fucheng, the good news came, and the thieves besieging Yuyao County had been defeated by five hundred battalions and wolf soldiers.

It is said that Xu Jin and others returned to the east gate of Ningbo Fucheng, and Xia Yan, the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, led a group of local officials and gentry to greet each other outside the city gate.

Xu Jin introduced Cen Lan, the leader of the wolf soldiers, and Zhou Liang, the overseer, to everyone, and they inevitably exchanged polite greetings with each other. After finishing, Xia Yan said with a spring breeze on his face: "Lord Xu, the palace has prepared a banquet, just to wash the dust for the celebration of the adults and the generals." ”

"Very good, enter the city!" Xu Jin entered the city with high spirits, and a group of civil and military officials surrounded him mightily, like stars and moons.

As the saying goes, blessings are incomparable, but disasters are not singular. However, Governor Xu was full of happy events today, and just as everyone was drinking the celebratory wine lively, he rode a fast horse into the city and sent a great news. It turned out that the Jiangxi Army and Shaoxingwei finally broke through Dinghai County, killed and captured more than 7,000 people, and the key was to capture Mao Haifeng, the number one person under Wang Zhi, and escorted him back to Ningbo Mansion to listen to the fate of Hou Xu Jin.

It is said that the Jiangxi Army and Shaoxingwei began to attack Dinghai County on August 12, and it has lasted 20 days. Dinghai County is so difficult to break, because Dinghai County is surrounded by water on three sides, the moat is large and deep, and the thieves in the city have enough food, which is really a headache.

Originally, it was impossible for the Jiangxi Army and Shaoxingwei to take Dinghai County so quickly, but just last night, the gentry in the city secretly connected and sent a death squad composed of family guards to attack the county government in the middle of the night, and also captured the thief Mao Haifeng, and then opened the city gate to let the officers and soldiers enter the city, otherwise they would really have to fight.

Xu Jin couldn't help laughing after reading the good news sent by the Jiangxi Army and Shaoxing Wei, Mao Haifeng was caught, Wang Zhi's group of pirates was basically abolished, and it was difficult to turn over the wind and waves.

When the gentry and generals heard that Dinghai County had also been recovered, they were even more overjoyed, so the atmosphere became even more enthusiastic.

Xu Jin is the boss, everyone toasted him, and the unstoppable Governor Xu planned to find the second brother-in-law to help block the drive, but when he raised his eyes, he just saw the second brother-in-law quickly sandwich a piece of braised pork into Cen Lan's wrist, and the latter ate deliciously, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, he also quickly sandwiched a piece of fish belly and sent it into Xie Erjian's mouth.

Xu Jin couldn't help but gasp, what a pair of dog men and women, hooking up too quickly, dry firewood, dry firewood!!

This celebration banquet took nearly two hours to finish, although Xu Jin was already very restrained, but still had five or six points of drunkenness, under the escort of Jinyi Wei, left the mansion and returned to the temporary governor's yamen, and the second brother-in-law and Cen Lan didn't know where to spend the moon early, maybe they were doing something to dry firewood.

"Sir!" As soon as Xu Jin returned to the courtyard, several pairs of wonderful eyes in the house looked at each other, Wang Cuiqiao, early spring and early summer, the two little cabbages were all in the house, and they were probably waiting for him to come back.

"Congratulations to Lord Xu on his triumph!" Wang Cuiqiao stood up and smiled, and the carefully dressed Oiran was as beautiful as a fairy in the mortal world.

Now that the situation is very good, Xu Jin is happy in his heart, looking at the peerless beauty in front of him, he is even more ape-like, and with a little wine, he hugged Wang Cuiqiao's soft and slender waist, and spun in place.

Wang Cuiqiao exclaimed, the lake-green Luo skirt fluttered, beautiful, clapping and giggling in early spring and early summer. Xu Jin turned around several times, and then put the beauty down, the latter was probably a little dizzy, and he blushed and fell into Xu Jin's arms, and only after a long time did he shyly beat Xu Jin and said angrily: "The adult is full of wine, hurry up and go to the bath and change clothes." ”

Xu Jin is secretly sweating, but he is a beautiful woman. Next, Master Xu bathed and changed clothes under the service of the two twin pretty maids, as for whether he took the opportunity to do something to dry the firewood, it is unknown.

The night is as cool as water, and the autumn insects chirp. Master Xu, who had just finished bathing, looked even more handsome with red lips and white teeth, and he actually saw all the girls blushing and heartbeating. In the early spring, this little hoof ran to the kitchen in waves, and soon brought back a plate of steamed golden hairy crabs from Yangcheng Lake, which made people salivate just by looking at the appearance.

But it's a pity that today is the second day of the ninth month, there are stars but no moon, otherwise peel crabs under the moon, and then listen to the sound of Wang Cuiqiao's nature, it is simply a fairy-like enjoyment, of course, it is not bad to enjoy the beauty peeling crab under the lamp.

With a click, early summer skillfully lifted the shell of a hairy crab, used a spoon to pour out the golden crab paste inside, stuffed some ginger and garlic condiments, and then fed it to Xu Jin's mouth.

Wang Cuiqiao's ten fingers are as delicate as freshly peeled shallots, and the white meat in the crab legs is flexibly picked out with bamboo sticks.

Wang Cuiqiao sent a spoonful of crab meat to Xu Jin's bowl, and when she saw the latter looking at herself, she couldn't help but have a hot face, and said with a slight annoyance: "Why are adults looking at me?" ”

Chu Xia sneered, and said with a pun: "Master, this is eating in the bowl and looking at the pot!" ”

Wang Cuiqiao's cheeks suddenly flew down, and her heart was beating wildly, since the last time in Hangzhou, the two established a relationship, she was ready to recommend herself to the pillow, but the war was tense, Xu Jin soon led the troops south to Ningbo, and it was more than a month since they met again. It was because of his heart that he followed Eunuch Lai from Hangzhou to Ningbo south, but he almost fell into the hands of the thief monk Xu Hai, but fortunately, there was no danger in the end.

Looking at the beautiful woman in the city who was too shy in front of him and gave what he wanted, Xu Jin had no reason not to be moved, but not long ago, he cooked two pots of fragrant rice with two pretty maids, Governor Xu didn't have such a pressing demand at the moment, and some things were still natural.

The night is getting deeper, the coolness is beginning to penetrate, the crab has been eaten, everyone is listening to the autumn insects singing in the candlelight, while chatting about homely things, but it is also a happy one, and the days without fighting are good.

Xu Jin stretched his waist comfortably, now the situation is under control, the situation is very good, but I am afraid that I will not be able to go home for the New Year this year, thinking of his wife and children at home, a strong longing will arise leisurely, and he can't help but sigh lightly.

Wang Cuiqiao's wonderful eyes full of aura glanced at Xu Jin, and said softly: "Lord Xu, do you remember Jingzhong?" ”

Xu Jin nodded and said, "It's been more than half a year since I left Beijing unconsciously, and time flies so fast." ”

"The maid also misses Mrs. them, the little master should be able to talk about it!" In the early spring, he held the red cheeks and said to himself.

Wang Cuiqiao lowered his head and was silent, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but when he was losing his mind, his cool little hand was already held by Xu Jin's big hand, warm.

"Cuiqiao, we will return to Beijing after the Jiangnan incident, and when we pass through Shandong, I will take you back to your hometown for a walk." Xu Jin said warmly.

Wang Cuiqiao's heart warmed, nodded calmly, and said with a smile: "Cuiqiao happened to make a new song recently, do you want to hear it?" ”

Xu Jin couldn't help it, and his spirit perked up and said: "Listen to the immortal sound of the king." ”()
