The corners of Yu Hongxuan's mouth twitched, and his face was full of words that were hard to express.

He thought that his sister's emotional intelligence would gradually improve after she got married and had children, but he didn't expect that she was still so slow in the relationship between men and women.

Is the purpose of Xiao Yueze sending the letter a demonstration?

He also instigated the relationship between husband and wife, and invited her to join the enemy camp. He also belittled Song Xi in and out of words, boasted that he would become emperor, and used the scenery of Lingnan to try to arouse his sister's interest.

Isn’t this the tactic used by male peacocks to spread their wings to court a mate?

Is there any hidden information that needs to be deciphered?

It's all because the ancients spoke too implicitly and euphemistically. How could his sister, who was obsessed with scientific research and government affairs, understand her?

Derogating Song Xi was even worse. Didn't you see that his sister's attention was focused on this?

Thinking of the content of his sister's reply, Yu Hongxuan felt very happy.

Xiao Yueze must have never imagined that all his efforts would be in vain.

He tried every possible means to get close to his sister, and even set a trap to capture them alive, but what did he get in the end?

A bullet and a slanderous reply written in a fit of rage.

His sister now regards the Xiao family as a scourge, and her level of vigilance and vigilance has risen to the highest level.

In the future, let alone any cooperation or even friendship, as long as Xiao Yueze shows a trace of his hair, his sister will probably pick up a firecracker and shoot wildly.

"Leave this letter here for now. I will give it directly to my brother-in-law when the time comes."

Yu Hongxuan happily put the letter into his sleeve pocket, preparing to hand it to Song Xi when he arrived.

Even if you don't have the excitement of the Shura Field to watch, you can at least appreciate the changes in your brother-in-law's expression.

Even though Song Xi looks like an immovable superior, he is extremely jealous.

Yu Yalan had no objection to her brother's behavior, but she didn't quite understand what he was laughing at.

He was already very stupid and worried, and his silly smile made him look even more stupid.

The two siblings thought each other was stupid in their hearts, but on the surface they talked about other things harmoniously.

After taking a short rest and reorganizing the team, the siblings set off towards Jinchang Mansion with ease.

…

Three days later, Yu Yalan and her brother successfully reunited with Zhang Zhiyuan.

Not long after arriving at the camp, they met old friends they had not seen for a long time.

"Li Qian?! Sister, it's Li Qian! I haven't seen you for many years!"

Yu Hongxuan hurried forward with surprise on his face, gave his old friend a big hug, and then led him arm in arm to the tent, ready to have a good chat with him about old times.

Li Qian still looks so gentle and elegant, but his temples have been added with silver threads, and his face also has traces of time.

He is a few years older than Song Xi, but now he can't hide his fatigue and vicissitudes.

It seems that things have not been going well in Yuzhou these past few years.

Yu Yalan was a little bit sad when she saw you: "Sit down and have a meal together. You will stay with us in the camp these few days. Hongxuan has been thinking about you. I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to meet you now."

Li Qian nodded with a smile and sat down calmly: "I have been busy in Xianping before, and there were people watching me from above who couldn't leave the city casually. Later, Brother Huzi led his troops to conquer Yuzhou, and I had the opportunity to come and see him.

Everyone."

When Emperor Longhe came to power, Lu Tong, the former prefect of Bianliang, also ascended to heaven. As soon as he was promoted to chief envoy of Yuzhou, he immediately began to suppress and embarrass Li Qian.

Lu Tong had a personal grudge against the Yu family, and he happened to know that Li Qian was on good terms with the Yu family and Song Xi. He could not seek revenge from the Song and Yu families across the mountains and rivers, so he could only suppress Li Qian.

He was promoted to an official, and he also sent people to monitor the Li family's movements from time to time.

Li Qian has indeed had a hard time these past years. No matter how much political achievements he made, he was always taken away from him or ignored. Sometimes he needed funds from his superiors for water conservancy or agricultural projects, but the information he requested was ruthlessly rejected over and over again.

If Yu Yalan hadn't transferred the shops in the county to him early, he might not even be able to afford the daily expenses of the county government. No one would believe that Lu Tong even deducted the salary of a county magistrate from him.

.

After listening to Li Qian's account of his experiences over the years, Yu Hongxuan felt a little sad: "You should have gone to the northwest by then. We have prepared a place for you. If you stay in Xianping, it will be a waste of eight years. How many eight years can you have in your life?"

Where is Nian? This Lu Tong is also a damn thing, I have to kill him this time!"

When Song Xi successfully occupied the northwest, the first thing he did was to recruit his old friends. Of course, Li Qian was also invited, but he declined Song Xi's kindness.

If he had gone to the northwest at that time, he would at least be a powerful official in the capital today. No matter how unlucky he was, he would have been able to join the chief envoy somewhere, and his future and salary would have been better than they are now.

Li Qian himself did not regret this decision: "My mother was extremely ill at that time and could not move even half a step out of the house. The youngest son at home was still in his infancy, so there was a risk of accidents if he hit the road rashly. You don't know that Lu Tong became the chief envoy

How greedy he was in the end, he found excuses to confiscate the homes of several wealthy households. Xianping's peace and prosperity were hard-won. If I were not here to take charge, Lu Tong would immediately turn Xianping upside down! As a parent official, I should treat it as a common people.

I think it is my duty to protect Xianping. Promotion and wealth all depend on fate, and forcing it may not lead to a good outcome."

Li Qian, who has passed his thirties, looks calm, without any resentment or gloom in his eyes.

He talks about his experiences in the past eight years in a calm tone, as if the hardships and sufferings are nothing to him.

Yu Yalan and her brother looked at each other, feeling filled with emotion.

A true gentleman can withstand the test of fire, no matter how much wind or rain, his character will not be broken.

Li Qian is indeed a good official who prays for the people, and he should not continue to be buried in this small place for the rest of his life.

This dinner took a long time, and the three old friends seemed to have endless things to talk about.

After talking about government affairs and talking about their children, Li Qian also joked about why Yu Hongxuan didn't marry a wife and have children.

After drinking, Yu Hongxuan seemed to have swallowed the courage of a bear's heart and began to boast eloquently about the benefits of being single. As he spoke, he dared to use Song Xi as an example, mocking his brother-in-law for not even having any private money.

Yu Yalan listened expressionlessly at first, but later she showed a look of gloating.

Yu Hongxuan suddenly felt a chill, and then heard the roar of a Hedong lion blasting in his ears——

"Single nobles are amazing, right? You still dare to hide your private money behind my back? How about I let you be single again today, and then you can carry gold, silver and jewelry into the coffin?"

Ji Xuewei walked into the camp with long legs and stared at Yu Hongxuan with her hands folded across her chest.

Her long curly chestnut hair reflected the afternoon sun, making her look like a lioness on fire.

Of course, she must be the most beautiful among the lionesses.

The frightened Yu Hongxuan thought wildly for a while, and then immediately rushed to beg his fiancée for mercy.
