When the cold wind blew, the cool raindrops fell on his face. Zhu Xiu was shocked and came to his senses.

As if my heart felt something, I couldn't help but mutter:

"Go to the north of Huai River. It is thousands of miles away from Yangzhou Road. It passes through Guazhou willow trees. There are countless smoke and water.

The tower has just turned to Qianwan. The clouds and mountains are thousands of points in the south of the Yangtze River. The points are heartbroken, so don’t look at Chang’an if you pass by..."

A chuckle came from behind, and Zhu Xiu looked back and Zhou Xian walked over in a fur and velvet coat, followed by a maid holding a tray in her hand.

Compared to when he arrived in Suzhou at the beginning of the year, Zhou Xian was obviously fatter, with a round and smooth face and radiant radiance.

Just because her abdomen was slightly raised, she was obviously pregnant for several months.

Zhou Xian took the pot that Zhu Xiu held, added some hot tea to it, and said with a smile: "This poem by my husband sounds a bit unsuitable. The poem is full of melancholy, like a person who is not talented, and it is completely inconsistent with his husband's identity."

Zhu Xiu took the pot and smiled and said, "I wonder what kind of identity your husband is in Ehuang's eyes?"

Zhou Xian's round chin was slightly raised: "The best in the world, hold the young handsome man's ears; sit in the lead, look down on the heroes from all over the country!"

Zhu Xiu smiled and said, "There is no feeling for others to praise me. Ehuang praised me. The taste is as wonderful as climbing to a fairyland! Come here and let your husband smell it with a strong smell!"

Zhu Xiu held the beauty and sucked her sip on her jade-faced face regardless of her coquettishness.

The maid beside her whispered and laughed in silence, her eyes full of envy. The master's family really had a strong and deep relationship.

"Have you been troubled these days? Does your belly still hurt?" Zhu Xiu gently stroked his bulging pregnant belly.

Zhou Xian looked full of loving motherly face, "The child has been so obedient these days. Maybe he knew that his father had something big to do, and he became much quieter."

Zhu Xiu laughed and said, "This child was born during the Huainan War, so he will be named Zhu Yuanzhan!"

"Yuan Zhan, Yuan Zhan..." Zhou Xian gently stroked his belly, murmured twice, and smiled and said, "What should my daughter be called?"

Zhu Xiu pondered for a moment, "Wen Po and the doctor said, look at the outline of your belly, you are probably a boy. If you are a daughter, you will be called Yuanyuan."

Zhou Xian said happily: "Yuanyuan sounds nice."

Zhu Xiu hugged her lightly and said softly: "Whether it is a son or daughter, you two are treasures in your husband's hand."

Zhou Xian nodded softly, closed his eyes and leaned against her husband's warm chest. The two hugged each other under the eaves after the rain, enjoying a rare moment of tranquility.

Two months ago, Zhu Xiu contacted Zhou Zong through Cha Hui. Zhou Zong went to Shouzhou City in the name of rewarding the army. Zhu Xiu and Zhou Xian also disguised themselves as secretly to meet.

Zhou Zong and Zhou Xian and his daughter met again after more than three years, so naturally they were a warm scene of a long separation between father and daughter.

After not seeing each other for many years, Zhou Zong has become much older and is already an old man over 70 years old.

Seeing his daughter who was regarded as a treasure, she lived a happy and pregnant life, Zhou Zong was comforted and wiped away countless tears.

As Zhou Zong grew older and gradually became indifferent to the court, the Zhou family gradually declined in the Southern Tang Dynasty in recent years.

After Zhou Zong, there was no one in the Zhou family who could stand up to shelter the family from the wind and rain. Like Feng family after Feng Dao, they also faced the dilemma of the decline of family talents, and decline was inevitable.

In recent years, Changxing goods dealers under Cha Hui have become more and more prosperous. In fact, most of the business is transferred from the Zhou family's plate under the instruction of Zhou Zong.

Zhu Xiu naturally knew the purpose of it.

Jiangnan was weak, and it was only a matter of time before the Northern Dynasties were ruled.

Everyone in the Jiangnan court knows this truth, but no one dares to explain it.

Because the middle master Li Jing was still having a wonderful fantasy of marching the river with the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Even when Chai Rong issued the Nanzhao Declaration this time, Li Jing was optimistic that although the Zhou army was powerful, it was not easy to swallow Huainan. The Southern Tang army had the power to fight.

Li Jing was bewitched by Song Qiqiu, Cha Wenhui, Feng Yanji and others, and had already had serious deviations in the current situation in Jiangnan and Jiangbei.

This may be after the Battle of Huainan

Only then will he gradually wake up.

Li Jing is a lake, but the ministers below are not.

Zhou Zong is the representative of the sober school.

Zhou Zong took the initiative to give up many of the Zhou family's businesses in Jiangnan, and paid a letter of fame to Zhu Xiu.

Today, Zhu Xiu is in charge of Suzhou and in charge of the Huai Army, and is powerful in Huainan. He is definitely one of the people who has the ability to have a decisive impact on the situation in Jiangnan.

Many Jiangnan gentry contacted Zhu Xiu secretly through the Zhou family, hoping to express their obedience to the Great Zhou court through him.

Zhu Xiu was in Suzhou for nearly a year, and Hu Guangyue's anti-inspection department also took the opportunity to expand greatly. The intelligence network targeting all walks of life in Jiangnan was fully launched. Every day, various snowflakes were summarized into the front.

It can be said that what happened to the Jiangning court today will be heard in three to five days, and the speed is far faster than that of the Wude Department.

With his familiarity with the historical context, Zhu Xiu was full of confidence in this war in Huainan and even looked forward to the arrival as soon as possible.

A tall and strong black-faced military man walked from the corridor with a huge step, and was able to beat ordinary people in one step.

Seeing Zhu Xiu and Zhou Xian hugging each other, they whispered affectionately, their faces turned red, and they quickly lowered their heads and turned around and were about to leave.

"Stop!" Zhu Xiu smiled and said, "You guy, are you going so fast and you have something to report? Tell me!"

The black-faced military man turned his head and grinned, and said embarrassedly: "Shishuai, there is a fat man named Tian Min outside the door who wants to see you..."

"Tian Min?" Zhu Xiu thought for a while and said to Zhou Xian: "You go back to the house to rest first. I'll come over later and have dinner together."

Zhou Xian nodded gently and took the maid back first.

Zhu Xiu called the black-faced military man: "Let's go!"

The black-faced military man followed Zhu Xiu honestly, his cautious appearance was completely inconsistent with his fierce and vicious face.

The Chinese name of this army is Mi Xin, a member of the Xi tribe. It belongs to the branch of the Donghu tribe. Its hometown is also outside the Northeast Pass. The Raole River is also located in the area of ​​the Xilamulun River in later generations.

After the rise of the Khitan, the Xi people also became affiliated tribes of the Khitan and were exploited by the Khitans for many years.

The Mixin people were also killed in the struggle with the Khitans, and since then they hated the Khitans.

Mi Xin joined the Guards Department through recruitment and performed well in the Battle of Bagongyuan, but was promoted and reused due to his status as a foreign race.

Last year, the Palace Front Office was established. When Zhu Xiu went to the Guard Office to select soldiers, he found this piece of uncensored jade.

If others don’t know the goods, Zhu Xiu will not let this famous general go.

Mi Xin is twenty-seven years old this year, illiterate and has a bad temper. Zhu Xiu specially brought him by his side to train him.

At first, Mi Xin was reluctant. He wanted to be a vanguard general who charged forward, not a personal commander.

Zhu Xiu did not explain, and as usual, he brought out Shi Xiangwen and asked him to fight with Shi Xiangwen.

After being beaten a few times, Mi Xin became honest.

In his opinion, Shi Xiangwen is like a god, with great power and boundless power. Zhu Xiu's ability to call such a person must be extraordinary.

From then on, Mi Xin followed Zhu Xiu honestly and dared not complain anymore.

Zhu Xiu glanced at Mi Xin and smiled and said, "You guy, will you blush when you see a man and a woman hugging you? Could it be that you have never been close to the girl's house?"

Mi Xin blushed and said, "I've been to the kiln, but when those girls saw that I was a foreigner, they refused to sleep with me for a lot of money..."

Zhu Xiu frowned and said, "Didn't you think about finding a good girl to get married?"

Mi Xin felt a little aggrieved: "Last time at the blind date, I was the first person in the competition, but no girl fell in love with me..."

Zhu Xiu laughed: "Then do you have the girl you like?"

Mi Xin was so aggrieved that he almost cried: "I fell in love with a lot of people, but in the end they all followed others!"

Zhu Xiuxiao bent down, and Mi Xin looked at him helplessly, his eyes full of resentment.

"Okay, don't worry about this matter. Work hard. When you return to Kaifeng, I will organize a marriage for you!" Zhu Xiu said with a smile.

"

Really? Don’t coax me, handsome man!" Mi Xin’s leopard eyes widened, and the round sarcasm could scare people.

Zhu Xiu smiled and said, "The girls in the Jianghuai land rarely have seen foreigners from Liaodong. It is very difficult to convince them to marry you. You should give up your heart."

Mi Xin scratched his head, feeling depressed.

Zhu Xiu comforted him and said, "Mrs. Lingyan has a few girls who know martial arts skills. Her hometown is from Hebei. She has dealt with Khitans since she was a child. She has seen many aliens outside the pass. When she returns to Kaifeng, she will introduce them to you!"

Mi Xin grinned and laughed: "That's great! You can still practice martial arts with your wife in the future!"

Zhu Xiu's face trembled and glared at him fiercely: "You are not serious in your actions. What should I do if I break someone? Warn you, don't do anything at home in the future. If you break someone, Mrs. Lingyan won't forgive you!"

Mi Xin shrank his neck and said embarrassedly: "Where can I dare to beat Mrs. Lingyan's wife? In the future, they will be aunts and grandsons!"

"This is almost the same." Zhu Xiu laughed.

What Mi Xin was afraid of was not Shi Lingyan, but Shi Xiangwen.

Shi Xiangwen was not serious when he beat him up.

The subordinate invited Tian Min to the front hall to sit down. When he saw Zhu Xiu arrive, he hurriedly stood up to greet him.

"Strange man Tian Da is not busy with business, so why do you have time to sit here?"

Zhu Xiu walked straight to the main seat and greeted him to sit down.

Tian Min didn't come alone. There was a burly man in his twenties next to him. He stood there like a gun stabbed in the ground, motionless, which made Zhu Xiu, who was used to seeing all kinds of generals, unable to help but take a few more glances.

"Caomin Tian Min pays homage to Zhu Jieshuai!" Tian Min smiled with a red and fat face, bowed respectfully and bowed respectfully.
